Gynaecologists from ‘Mama and I’ operate with a unique 3D surgery system for Bulgaria
The team is part of the only gynaecology department in the country equipped with the latest generation equipment for robotic, hysteroscopic, conventional and 3D laparoscopic surgery
The ‘Mama and I’ clinic, part of the high-tech ‘Heart and Brain’ hospital complex, now has the latest generation system for performing minimally invasive laparoscopic surgeries. The technology provides the highest image quality with 4K resolution, simultaneous 3D picture and the possibility to use infrared filters to visualize the fluorescent dye indocyanine green (ICG). The clinic team is the only one in Bulgaria with the complete Rubina system and has the knowledge and skills to use it to its full potential.
“It can be said that we are pioneers in introducing this state-of-the-art treatment into surgical practice in our country. The technical capabilities are at a level never known before – every detail, even the tiniest, can be seen quite clearly and in three dimensions, which greatly improves the perception of the surgical space. The detailed visualization of the anatomical structures, especially when they are pathologically altered by various diseases, allows even more precise performance of operations”, says Dr. Alexander Lyubenov, Head of the Department of General and Oncological Gynecology, who has already performed the first operation with the new system.
“And for us, the specialists, the benefits of the new technologies are many – the image is of the highest quality and thanks to the 3D image, the feeling is that you literally sink into the deep spaces of pelvic surgery,” says Dr. Lyubenov.
The Rubina system is extremely suitable for complex and interdisciplinary surgical interventions, such as those often required in oncological diseases, severe endometriosis, prolapse of the female genital organs using flaps or natural tissue, as well as in reproductive surgery. The fluorescence technology built into the system allows the detection of lymph nodes in oncological diseases, as well as the assessment of the blood supply to the bowel in resections in abdominal surgery – methods that have established themselves as the gold standard in leading clinics in Western Europe and the USA. The new system ensures safer and more precise performance of complex gynaecological, urological and surgical interventions, providing even better and higher quality treatment for patients.
