Karl Storz recently completed work at a new operating theatre complex at Leighton Hospital in Crewe (see also pages 34-36).
The company was selected after Trust representatives visited the Paterson Wing at St Mary’s Hospital, Paddington, and ‘saw the quality of equipment, support, and dedication, that Karl Storz is able to provide’. Leighton Hospital’s new theatres specialise in planned day surgery and diagnostic investigations for conditions including gynaecology, ENT, and urology. Two theatres feature OR1 Neo, the latest version of Karl Storz’s integrated operating theatre and, the company says, ‘by far the most advanced, packed full of innovation, and integrated services for endoscopic surgery’. With surgical tuition in mind, Karl Storz has also equipped both theatres with videoconferencing facilities for internal streaming of live procedures, and a direct audio-visual link to the centre’s multidisciplinary team room.
