Our operating room with 1A (Ultra Clean) air quality, which is a first in Turkey and was established in 2015, is considered the gold standard for neurosurgery, orthopedics, and organ transplant surgeries. In addition, we have a total of four operating rooms, including two with 1B hygiene class featuring laminar flow units and two with standard turbulent airflow. Furthermore, our intensive care unit with a capacity of 15 beds provides fully equipped services for all intensive care patients up to Level 3.
Advanced Imaging and Surgical Technologies
We provide detailed 3D imaging with minimal radiation using our 128-slice computed tomography device. Neuronavigation systems ensure high accuracy in surgical procedures and minimize the risk of damaging healthy tissues.
As NPİSTANBUL Hospital, we continue to prioritize the health and safety of our patients with our modern medical competence and safe surgical services;
Hygiene and Sterilization
Our Class 1A (Ultra Clean) operating room equipment, approved by independent accredited organizations, minimizes the risk of infection by combining with our superior technological infrastructure in surgical operations. The ventilation systems in our operating rooms are designed in accordance with national and international standards (SBKS, DIN 1946-4, ASHRAE 170, ISO 14644-4) and have been approved by undergoing rigorous tests by independent organizations.
All images obtained before and during the surgery are evaluated on high-resolution medical monitors. Thanks to our multi-dimensional imaging devices, we verify the success of the surgery and minimize the need for a second operation.
Anesthesia and Surgical Safety
Our devices used in anesthesia applications increase operational safety by reducing the use of waste gas and anesthetic agents. Anesthesia and pain depth are measured and treated at every stage of the surgery.
All our medical devices are selected and equipped from world brands with certifications such as ISO 13485, FDA, CE, and ÜTS. In our central sterilization unit, a sterile environment in compliance with international hygiene rules is provided to our patients by using the latest technology and traceable disinfection and sterilization methods.
Technological Equipment and Integration
Our operating rooms are equipped with microscopic, laparoscopic, endoscopic, and arthroscopic imaging systems. Thus, surgeries are performed with minimum incisions, ensuring that our patients recover quickly and return to their normal lives.
Sterilization safety has been maximized with hygienic ventilation, controlled transition areas, and surgical instrument tracking systems. By using computer-assisted navigation systems, we approach the targeted lesion with high accuracy during surgical interventions and minimize the risk of damaging healthy tissues.
Advanced Technology and Surgical Support
Brain and spinal surgeries are performed professionally with advanced technology devices such as O-Arm, MRI, CT, and intraoperative color Doppler used in our operating rooms. Our digital X-ray system allows the entire spine to be imaged in a short time and in a standing position.
Our neuronavigation-assisted ultrasound device ensures the controlled progression of the surgical operation. Additionally, this device offers top-tier performance in brain surgery imaging.
Digital Operating Room and Video Conference System
Our operating rooms are integrated with PACS, HIS, and laboratory information systems via the HL7 protocol. We can record from all medical devices with camera features, archive these records, and provide remote consultation when necessary.
Post-Operative Intensive Care
Our post-operative intensive care unit is equipped with advanced technology in a hygienic and controlled environment, providing the highest quality care to our patients.
Safe Surgical Application Areas
Significant patient injuries, adverse reactions, and serious events caused by wrong-site, wrong-procedure, or wrong-patient surgery are a constant concern for hospitals. Such errors generally stem from poor communication among the team members performing the surgery or invasive procedure, failure to mark the operation site, and the patient not being properly included throughout the process.
In addition to these situations, inadequate examination of the patient, incomplete medical records, and disconnected communication among surgical team members are other factors contributing to errors.
In our hospital, comprehensive studies have been carried out on these issues in accordance with World Health Organization (WHO) and JCI standards. Important checks consisting of eight main steps are performed prior to all surgeries.
- Accurate identification of patient information
- Site marking
- Pre-surgical clinical check
- Patient system
- Handover of the patient to the operating room
- Anesthesia clinical check
- Time Out
- Sign Out
Time-Out Procedure
Time-out involves ensuring that all team members are ready before the operation begins and confirming the patient's identification information, the procedure to be performed, and the surgical site. This procedure ensures that team members are in complete agreement before the operation starts and that the process is recorded.
Sign-Out Procedure
The sign-out procedure is a step that must be performed after the operation is completed, in accordance with the World Health Organization’s (WHO) Surgical Safety Checklist. At this stage, it is necessary to ensure that the name of the surgical procedure performed, the instruments used, sponge (absorbent gauze) and needle counts are complete and accurate. This information is recorded and the procedure is completed.
In our hospital, thanks to these procedures, the safety of surgical procedures is maximized and patient safety is ensured.
