SURGERY DEPARTMENT

Surgical care at Shahid Dr. Aso Hospital is organized around careful assessment, appropriate preparation, safe surgical planning, and continued patient care before and after a procedure.

Surgical Care

Planned, assessed and coordinated surgical care.

The Surgery Department provides surgical assessment and care for patients whose conditions require a surgical approach. Each patient is assessed according to their medical condition, urgency, and individual treatment needs.

For patients whose condition is not an emergency, surgery is generally preceded by clinical assessment, appropriate investigations, treatment planning, and preparation before a suitable procedure is scheduled.

Department Leadership

Surgical Team Leadership

The Head of the Surgery Department oversees the department's clinical organization and coordinates surgical care with other medical departments when required. The surgical team works according to the patient's condition, clinical assessment, and planned treatment pathway.

Areas of Care

Surgical Services & Clinical Areas

Surgical care may involve different clinical areas depending on the patient's diagnosis and treatment plan. The exact procedure is determined after appropriate medical assessment.

General Surgical Care

Assessment and surgical management of conditions requiring general surgical care.

Ophthalmic Surgery

Surgical care related to ophthalmic conditions, coordinated with the Ophthalmology Department according to clinical need.

Neurological & Spine Coordination

Coordination with neurological and appropriate surgical specialists when brain, spinal cord, or spine-related surgical assessment is required.

Pre-Operative Assessment

Clinical assessment and preparation before planned surgical procedures.

Post-Operative Care

Continued observation, treatment, and follow-up after surgery according to the patient's condition.

Multidisciplinary Care

Cooperation with emergency, neurology, ophthalmology, pharmacy, and other clinical services when appropriate.

Patient Surgical Pathway

How Planned Surgery Is Organized

Unless a patient's condition requires emergency intervention, surgical care normally follows an organized clinical process designed to assess the patient and prepare them appropriately before the procedure.

Consultation & Assessment

The patient is clinically assessed by the appropriate medical team to understand the condition and determine whether surgical treatment may be appropriate.

Investigations

Appropriate examinations, laboratory tests, imaging, or other investigations may be arranged according to the patient's condition and clinical requirements.

Surgical Decision & Planning

When surgery is considered appropriate, the surgical team develops a treatment plan and discusses the required preparation and procedure with the patient.

Scheduling & Preparation

For non-emergency cases, the procedure is scheduled according to clinical priority and service availability, followed by appropriate pre-operative preparation.

Surgical Procedure

The planned procedure is carried out by the relevant surgical team according to the patient's clinical plan and required surgical care.

Recovery & Observation

After surgery, the patient receives appropriate observation and post-operative care according to the procedure and individual clinical condition.

Follow-Up

Follow-up is arranged when required to assess recovery, treatment progress, wound or procedure-related concerns, and further clinical needs.

Continued Care

If further treatment or specialist care is required, the patient may continue under the appropriate team or be coordinated with another department.

Important: The exact surgical pathway may vary according to the patient's diagnosis, urgency, medical condition, required procedure, and clinical assessment.

Emergency Cases Are Different

When a patient's condition requires urgent medical or surgical attention, the normal scheduling process does not apply. The patient is assessed urgently and the required treatment or surgical intervention is arranged immediately according to clinical need.
