Spectacular progress has occurred in the development of diagnostic facilities, improved aseptic procedures, sophisticated equipment and skills in the recent past. These coupled with safer anesthetic techniques have made surgical intervention feasible for a number of medical installations. It is imperative that the OR is designed scientifically to ensure sterility, easy maintenance and effective utilization. The surgical OR is that specialized facility of AMC where life saving or life improving procedures are carried out on the human body by invasive methods under strict aseptic conditions in a controlled environment by specially trained.
AMC has recognized these life saving developments and has fully embraced them in the planning and design of its three surgical theatres. Each one will be a totally self-contained, seamless, fully equipped operating room which will control contamination risks from the outside. Central air conditioning will ensure a temperature range within 20 – 24 C with 50 – 60 humidity level and a minimum of 20 air changes per hour with ultra clean laminar air flow. Each surgical theatre will maintain positive air pressure to prevent the entry of outside contaminating agents. These design elements will drastically reduce the possibility of post operative infection.
Additionally, each surgical theatre will be equipped with advanced digital video conferencing equipment to enable both the inclusion of experts from around the world in sophisticated surgical procedures and also to serve as a medical educational platform.
The comfort of the family and the patient are also in the forefront of our concerns. Pleasant and comfortable waiting rooms will be designed for anxious family and friends.
AMC's five surgical areas – general surgery, orthopedics, urology, ENT, skin and plastic/cosmetic surgery - will meet patient needs of safety, convenience and economy.
Anesthesia
Although not strictly a surgical area, anesthesiology is central and crucial to any surgical intervention. Anesthesiologists apply their knowledge of medicine to fulfill their primary role in the operating room, which is not only to ensure a painless surgery, but also to make informed medical judgments to protect the patient. These include treating and regulating changes in your critical life functions -- breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure -- as they are affected by the anesthetic drugs and the surgery being performed.
These medical specialists are the doctors who will immediately diagnose and treat any medical problems that might arise during the surgery or recovery period.
The role of an anesthesiologist extends beyond the operating room and recovery room. Anesthesiologists are also involved in pain management, including diagnosis and treatment of acute and chronic problems.
Patients presenting for surgical care at AMC are assured of exceptionally qualified anesthesiologists who have dedicated themselves to the highest standards in anesthesia, pain management and critical care. AMC anesthesiologists utilize the latest technology and most advanced techniques with proven track records of patient safety.
General Surgical
General surgical procedures such as hernia and recurrent hernia repair and removal of underarm lymph nodes will be performed.
Orthopedics
Although most orthopedic procedures will be performed in the orthopedics treatment room in the orthopedics department employing arthroscopic techniques, more invasive procedures will be dealt with in the surgical theatres.
Urology
The main venue for surgical intervention in urology will be in the AMC urology unit treatment room. When more invasive procedures are required, these will be carried out in the surgical theatres.
Skin and Plastic Surgery
Plastic surgery is a medical specialty to change the appearance and function of a person's body. Plastic surgery procedures include both aesthetic cosmetic enhancements as well as functionally reconstructive (medical) operations. Some of the services offered are:

• Rhinoplasty (nose surgery)
• Blepharoplasty (upper eyelid surgery)
• Skin blemish removal
• Scar revision
• Nipple and breast reconstruction following mastectomy.
