Our Operations
Ward 101 E belongs to the area of Ear, Nose, and Throat Diseases. We are located in building 101 and operate in new, beautiful facilities. The ward consists of a day surgery section and a preoperative section, which provides the conditions for a developing and varied workday.
The preoperative section is responsible for preparing patients for surgeries and examinations. The patients come from several different surgical departments, including surgery, ear, nose, and throat, plastic surgery, gynecology, and urology, which results in a wide variety of tasks. The unit's patient flow consists of elective patients who will be operated on or treated in the hospital's various operating departments, radiology, or outpatient clinics.
The day surgery section provides pre- and postoperative care for patients in ear, nose, and throat surgery, plastic surgery, jaw surgery, and dental care. The patients you will encounter are both children and adults of all ages. There is a significant variation in the procedures, both in duration and severity, and they are performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia.
The unit's patient flow includes both acute and elective patients who will be operated on or treated in day surgery.
