Medical excellence and features:
- the Arrhythmology Department is a world leader in the treatment of atrial fibrillation by use of non-fluoroscopic electroanatomic mapping systems and reference center for treatment using cryo-ballon technology and for pacemaker implants and defibrillators for the prevention of sudden death.
- Maria Cecilia Hospital is one of the first centres in Europe to perform the ablation technique of electroporation or Pulse Field Ablation (PFA), a new ablation procedure for the treatment of atrial fibrillation
- The hospital is one of the few centers in Europe to carry out a complex neurosurgical technique, through the TMR (Targeted Muscle Reinnervation). This operation is performed to allow the patient control an artificial limb, specifically bionic limbs.
- Minimally invasive therapy, especially in robot-assisted, laparoscopic and endoscopic surgery, applied in the field of general surgery, urology, and gynecology
- the Gamma Knife for the treatment of brain lesions smaller than 3 cm in diameter makes it possible to avoid using a scalpel through the targeted administration of Gamma rays
- For extensive brain tumors, neurosurgeons use ORBEYE TM, an innovative video microsurgical technique using a digital microscope with a 4K 3D orbital camera with exoscopic access
- the advanced centre for the treatment of the diabetic foot, with a 95 % success rate in avoiding amputations, directed by Prof. Dalla Paola
- state-of-the-art linear accelerators for radiation therapy
