With its two orthopaedic clinics in Pleven and Burgas, ‘Heart and Brain’ is the leader in hip and knee joint replacement with 1204 alloplasties in 2022. This is according to the data published by the ‘Hospital Index’. A total of 2,732 orthopedic surgeries were performed in the two clinics, of which 136 were of particularly high volume and complexity.
“We have been working with navigational endoprosthetics for more than a year now. With the advent of robotic and computer-assisted surgery, navigational endoprosthetics has long since replaced classical surgical techniques. The advantage of this technology is that with the help of navigation, the implants are placed in the optimal position for each patient, according to his anatomy. The method guarantees long-term survival of the joint. At Heart and Brain Hospitals we also have highly trained teams who have specialised in Germany. This allows the routine application of the innovative approach, which is many times more patient-friendly”, comments Prof. Asparuh Asparuhov, head of the clinic in Pleven.

“Placing individual joint implants is routine for our team. The pre-operative 3D planning, the implant and the instruments for its placement are strictly individual. The method is less traumatic, the intervention time is shortened and the risk of intraoperative infection is reduced. It is no coincidence that Esculap Academy chose the clinics in Pleven and Burgas to hold a theoretical and practical presentation of advances in navigational endoprosthetics,” adds Dr. Petyo Bratoev, head of the department in Burgas.
The orthopaedics and traumatology clinic at the ‘Heart and Brain’ Centers of Clinical Excellence regularly seeks feedback and receives top evaluation from the patients who have undergone the procedure – this is the most important testimonial for the doctors’ work.
