The hospital of Azazga, EPH, in Algeria's Tizi Ouzou province, has begun offering laparoscopic surgery services. This development was made possible through a collaboration with the visceral surgery department of CHU Nedir Mohamed. The EPH of Azazga recently acquired a laparoscopy column. The CHU Nedir Mohamed's team, led by Dr. Habarek, provided training and support for the launch of the new service.
The launch of laparoscopic surgery services at EPH Azazga marks a significant milestone for the hospital. Laparoscopic surgery, also known as minimally invasive surgery, allows for surgical procedures to be performed without making large incisions. This approach can lead to faster recovery times and less scarring for patients. The CHU Nedir Mohamed's team, led by Dr. Habarek, played a crucial role in enabling EPH Azazga to offer this service.
Dr. Habarek, the head of the visceral surgery department at CHU Nedir Mohamed, led a team to Azazga to provide training and perform two laparoscopic surgeries. The team included a master assistant, an anesthesiologist, an instrument technician, and a resident. The surgeries were performed on patients with gallstones and were successful. The EPH Azazga surgeons also received hands-on training during the procedure.
The training provided by Dr. Habarek and his team is part of an effort to share knowledge and expertise. Dr. Habarek stated that it is his duty to transmit the skills he has acquired, and that this is a chain of knowledge that benefits patients. He also expressed his emotional connection to EPH Azazga, having previously worked there.
The collaboration between CHU Nedir Mohamed and EPH Azazga was facilitated by the direction of CHU Nedir Mohamed. The hospital's management provided support and resources for the mission, including the necessary instrumentation. Dr. Habarek praised the encouragement and support provided by the CHU Nedir Mohamed's management.
The launch of laparoscopic surgery services at EPH Azazga will benefit the local population. Patients will now have access to this advanced surgical technology, which can lead to better health outcomes. The training provided to EPH Azazga surgeons will also enable them to perform laparoscopic surgeries independently in the future.
The successful launch of laparoscopic surgery services at EPH Azazga is a result of collaboration and knowledge sharing between healthcare institutions. The partnership between CHU Nedir Mohamed and EPH Azazga demonstrates the commitment of Algerian healthcare providers to improving patient care and outcomes.
