Maria Cecilia Hospital

Maria Cecilia Hospital is a private clinic with a wide choice of outpatient and inpatient treatment. The medical center began its work in 1973 and is now especially developing the field of cardiology and neurosurgery. The advantage is the high professionalism of the staff and the European quality of services. The hospital consists of 200 doctors. The total area of 2,500 square meters includes 211 beds and 10 operating rooms. Each treatment begins with a detailed assessment of the clinical case using modern diagnostic methods. In particular, CT SOMATOM Force is the only one in the Emilia-Romagna region. The device scans the entire body in seconds, reduces the necessary contrast material, and minimizes exposure. The possibility of examining patients with excess weight over 200 kg is also an advantage. Maria Cecilia Clinic doctors perform over 10,000 successful interventional cardiac operations yearly. In particular, the rhythm disorder unit is 1 of 14 worldwide. It was the first to participate in testing a wireless pacemaker and its installation. The general goal of the clinic to implement minimally invasive operations is reflected in the direction of aortic valve prosthetics (through the skin) and in the implantation of artificial valve prostheses using TAVI Trans Femorals and TAVI Trans Apical. Both replacement methods do not require a heart-lung machine or significant trauma. Doctors have also successfully used the newest model of the Gamma Knife called Perfexion. Robotic technology allows the highly accurate removal of complex brain lesions up to 3 cm without complications. The advantage is treatment without any incision and a low percentage of recurrences. Also unique is the innovative video-microsurgical technique using a digital microscope with a 4K 3D orbital camera to remove a large brain tumor. It should be noted that the Maria Cecilia Medical Center was the first in the country to use the ultra-minimally invasive surgical technique of unilateral portal endoscopy to treat intervertebral hernias. The technique provides a clear image and precision of movements. Subsequently, in the postoperative period, there is less pain and quick recovery of motor functions. Robotic methods have attracted the attention of doctors in orthopedics as well. Performing prosthetics with the NAVIO robotic system allows you to consider all the joint's features for correct installation. Gynecologists and urologists, keeping their finger on the pulse, also use the Hugo robotic system, which has become widely used since 2022. Maria Cecilia Hospital offers treatment for oncological, cardiac, neurological, gynecological, and urological diseases under one roof. It is also advantageous to have a department of plastic and maxillofacial surgery, bariatrics, and specialists in diabetes and diabetic foot. With care for patients, doctors have developed a special direction of rehabilitation, which allows the patient not to delay recovery and to be in contact with the attending physician. A multidisciplinary approach allows you to strengthen general health and consider all the features during treatment.
