Hořovice Hospital

Hořovice Hospital is a multi-specialty hospital in Hořovice that presents itself as more than a typical small regional facility, with a broad range of wards and a dense network of outpatient clinics linked to them. Today, it operates within the AKESO healthcare group. A large part of the hospital’s profile is procedural care supported by modern operating and perioperative services. The surgical department describes a broad scope that includes general and colorectal surgery, traumatology-related care, vascular surgery, and urology, with an emphasis on minimally invasive laparoscopy for both planned and acute operations. Gynecology covers both urgent and planned conditions and describes a broad procedural spectrum, including hysteroscopy and laparoscopy for infertility workup, endometriosis-related problems, and operative treatment of female incontinence. Perioperative safety and complex postoperative care are supported by an anesthesiology and resuscitation service that provides the full spectrum of general and regional anesthesia for surgical programs. The same service provides intensive postoperative monitoring and, when clinically indicated, specialized postoperative management that may include advanced organ support and elimination techniques. On the innovation and development side, the hospital is expanding its robotic programs, including early experience with ROSA-assisted knee replacement. In parallel, it is pursuing significant infrastructure growth: a new building intended to add beds, 8 operating theatres, and 55 outpatient rooms, while upgrading urgent-admission capacity within the Ministry-backed urgent-care network. Orthopedics at Hořovice Hospital is presented as one of the hospital’s central clinical pillars, spanning joint replacement, arthroscopic surgery, and standard orthopedic procedures, with pediatric-oriented orthopedic diagnostics also referenced. It is an arthroscopy-capable practice environment and frames orthopedic care as both procedural and programmatic, combining operative treatment with structured follow-up and rehabilitation planning when mobility or function needs to be rebuilt after injury or degenerative disease. Alongside surgery, the hospital offers strong medical and supportive services, including internal medicine and neurology, with options for closer monitoring as needed. Anesthesiology and resuscitation services support surgery and postoperative care, and the department also offers pain management and nutrition-related outpatient services. Pediatrics at Hořovice Hospital is positioned as a full-spectrum service, including care for children following injuries and procedures performed by other departments. The hospital also runs a dedicated follow-up intensive care service for children with complex long-term needs. Oncology is delivered through a day unit focused mainly on systemic therapies such as chemotherapy, hormonal therapy, immunotherapy, and targeted treatment, with symptom-focused supportive care as part of the model. Finally, diagnostic capacity is provided by a radiology department that performs CT, MRI, conventional radiography, fluoroscopy, and ultrasound, with operational arrangements in place to support urgent imaging when indicated by the referring clinician. Laboratory medicine is also presented as a core support function, with a dedicated sampling room for ambulatory patients and continuous laboratory operation to support inpatient, urgent, and perioperative workflows.
