One of the main advantages of the department is the use of state-of-the-art surgical techniques, which exclude the possibility of serious tissue damage during the operation. The operating rooms are fitted out with advanced computer equipment and surgical instruments for the safest and the most effective treatment.
Each patient is provided with an individual approach.
