Ewha University Aortic Vascular Hospital Opens Additional Hybrid Operating Room...More, faster treatments
May 08, 2025
Ewha University Aortic Vascular Hospital held an additional opening ceremony for a state-of-the-art hybrid operating room at the operating room of Ewha Womans University Seoul Hospital on the 7th.
The hybrid operating room is an operating room that combines state-of-the-art imaging equipment and surgical facilities in one space, and procedures and surgical operations through imaging equipment are possible at the same time.
The hybrid operating room opened in June 2023 with the opening of Ewha University Aortic Vascular Hospital, and additional operating rooms will be opened as the number of patients increases, including more than 1,000 aortic surgeries and procedures per year.
The operating room was equipped with surgical equipment such as ▲ cardiopulmonary device ▲ electric cauterizer ▲ anesthetic device, and imaging equipment such as ▲ angiogram ▲ 3D imaging device ▲ automatic contrast agent injector.
Lee Kwang-hoon, director of the aortic center at Ewha University Aortic Vascular Hospital (Imaging Medicine), said "The digital sub-traction angiography (DSA) used in the diagnosis and surgery of vascular disease allows the operator to check 3D vascular images in real time during surgery, allowing the operator to make a more accurate judgment."Surgical and procedures are one-stop in one place, allowing more patients with aortic disease to be saved. "
Hybrid operating rooms require expensive medical equipment and extensive facility construction, which costs a lot of initial investment. In addition, it is difficult to build because there should be a larger space than a general operating room, and a design that considers the movement of medical staff and accessibility of equipment at the same time is required.
Director of Ewha University Aortic Vascular Hospital Song Seok-won (Cardiovascular Thoracic Surgery) "The medical staff's mind to save more lives of emergency patients and the management's decision to invest in essential medical care led to the additional opening."When there was only one operating room, we had to wait even if emergency surgery was needed, but now it can be used simultaneously in both rooms. We will try to ensure that aortic patients get optimal treatment results in a short period of time.'
