Narrow focus

In the IVF center, experts help to solve the issue of infertility in men and women. Here, new techniques are applied for surgical operations, intrauterine insemination and in vitro fertilization.

1. During infertility surgery, women diagnosed with obstruction of the fallopian tubes undergo fimbrioplasty – without traumatizing the organs, adhesions and scars are removed using laparoscopy; catheterization – expanding the tubes with a catheter without surgery; salpingostomy – laparoscopy or surgery to eliminate adhesions and dropsy of the ovaries. In the treatment of infertility in men, vasoepididymostomy and vasovasostomy are performed, as well as operations to eliminate testicular varicose veins.
2. In the direction of in vitro fertilization, if a man’s sperm concentration is too low, the clinic’s specialists prescribe ICSI. Using the injection method, the required amount of spermatozoa is injected directly into the egg. To exclude the possibility of a mutation and genetic type diseases in a child, patients can undergo pre-implantation diagnosis (PGD) in the hospital. After such an examination, doctors introduce only healthy embryos to women.

In the oncology division, doctors examine people with carcinomas and prescribe therapy. It studies oncological pathologies of internal organs, bones and soft tissues.

1. Radio-therapy department uses an innovative CyberKnife precision device that clearly affects tumor cells and leaves healthy cells intact.
2. In chemotherapy, specialists treat patients with medications. It uses modern drugs that are selected individually. This treatment brings more results than general therapy.
3. The Molecular Biology Unit prescribes immunotherapy to patients. Special drugs identify cancer cells and destroy them.
4. Oncologists-surgeons remove neoplasms by low-traumatic methods using microscopic incisions. In metastases, HIPEC is performed.

Neuro-surgical unit specializes in the removal of tumors using endovascular and microsurgical instruments. This makes it possible to carry out the intervention without affecting healthy tissues, and the rehab period takes less time. For surgery, new neuronavigation systems are used, which significantly improve the accuracy of the doctor’s movements.

1. Inoperable brain tumors are treated with CyberKnife.
2. With the help of strong brain stimulation, doctors treat Parkinson’s disease.
3. For patients suffering from epilepsy, doctors inject a vagus nerve stimulator.
