Short waiting times for surgical operations

The new central operating theatres have been in use at the hospital in Náchod for three years. They have brought not only greater comfort to healthcare workers and safety to patients, but also a significant reduction in waiting times for surgical operations. We therefore asked the chief surgeon of the local surgical department, MUDr. Jaroslav Vokůrka, about his experience.

“The new modern building, packed with the latest technologies, has enabled us to significantly streamline our work. The new operating theatres are not only a pleasant working environment, but they have also enabled us to substantially increase the number of surgical procedures, resulting in shorter waiting times for our patients. We have virtually no waiting times for surgery. We always try to be as accommodating as possible to our patients when scheduling surgery. With most patients, we agree on an appointment within 2-4 weeks,” confirms MUDr. Jaroslav Vokůrka.

The procedures performed by the team of surgeons at the hospital in Náchod, for which they offer short waiting times, include in particular surgical treatment of diaphragmatic hernias and reflux esophageal disease, gallbladder and bile duct surgery, inguinal hernia surgery, large abdominal and scar hernias, colon surgery including cancer surgery, surgery for colon diverticula, surgery for digestive tract cancer, breast cancer surgery, rectal surgery, and varicose vein surgery.

The Náchod surgical ward focuses on minimally invasive laparoscopic abdominal surgery, which has the great advantage of shorter recovery times for patients. For example, 90% of colon procedures are performed laparoscopically at the hospital. In recent years, it has also started focusing on bariatric surgery, which helps obese patients get started on the path to a new body and overall lifestyle change.

Patients of the Náchod hospital praise the hospitalization in a pleasant and modern environment, while the doctors appreciate the cutting-edge equipment of one of the most modern theatres in the Czech Republic.

Ever more patients from more distant parts of the Hradec Králové Region and beyond are experiencing short waiting times for surgical operations at the hospital in Náchod.
