Operating Table – How to Choose for the Operating Room

famed — Mon, 02 Mar 2026 12:17:47 +0000

Designing a modern operating room requires a series of well-informed technological decisions. One of the most critical elements of surgical equipment is the operating table, as it directly affects patient safety, surgical precision, and the working comfort of the operating team. The selection of an operating table should not be based solely on purchase price. In practice, it is a long-term investment that determines how efficiently and safely an operating room will function for many years.

Infertility – a civilisation disease of the 21st century

famed — Fri, 29 Aug 2025 06:33:19 +0000

On 23 June, Poland celebrates Father’s Day. The origins of this holiday in Poland date back to 1965 and worldwide to 1910 (USA). Initially, however, the holiday was purely local in scope and the idea to celebrate it came from Sonora Smart Dodd. Sonora was the daughter of a Civil War veteran who was raising six children alone after the death of his wife. In this way, the girl wanted to thank her dad for his care and love and, at the same time, pay her respects to all fathers [1]. Fatherhood is a great privilege that unfortunately is not available to all men, at least in a biological sense. Statistics on infertility leave no doubt, and the WHO considers infertility to be the civilisation disease of the 21st century [2]. What are its characteristics, causes and treatment methods? These and other questions will be answered in the text below.

Varicose Veins and Chronic Venous Insufficiency

famed — Tue, 10 Jun 2025 12:06:17 +0000

The human circulatory system is a closed system. It consists of a network of blood vessels (arteries, veins, and capillaries), blood, and the heart. The human heart is divided into four chambers: two atria and two ventricles. Blood leaves the heart through arteries and returns via veins. The pressure driving blood into the vessels is generated by cardiac contractions. However, this pressure alone is insufficient to propel blood through the entire vascular circuit and back to the heart, as it decreases with distance from the heart. Therefore, blood flow is aided by arterial pulsation, made possible by smooth muscle present in the arterial walls. Venous valves, in turn, prevent blood from flowing backward [1]. Chronic venous insufficiency of the lower limbs is a medical condition characterized by symptoms of venous stasis in the legs. It results from malfunctioning venous valves, which leads to venous reflux (reverse blood flow) and the formation of varicose veins in the lower extremities [2].

Urolithiasis

famed — Wed, 23 Apr 2025 09:12:12 +0000

Urolithiasis is a widespread disease worldwide, with significant incidence, economic costs and days of absence from work [1]. Furthermore, about half of all individuals who have stones have one recurrence in their lifetime [2]. According to National Health Fund (NFZ) statistics for 2023, the highest incidence is in patients aged between 18 and 80 years. The number of hospital admissions with a diagnosis of urolithiasis in 2023 was 8,454 cases. Incidence by gender is not significant, with both men and women suffering from the disease. The disease is also reported in children. For example, in the previous year, 4,594 men and 3,860 women of various ages were treated for the disease [3]. The disease is one of the most common conditions and can be considered a systemic disease.

Minimally invasive surgery – primum non nocere

famed — Tue, 18 Feb 2025 12:51:38 +0000

Laparoscopy as a surgical technique was made popular thanks to pioneers such as Palmer, Frangenheim or Semm. However, let us remember that one of the fathers of laparoscopy was Georg Kelling. It was on his operating table that, over 120 years ago, a dog was placed and operated on using that method[1]. While the first appendectomy was performed laparoscopically more than 40 years ago, that technique is used not just for abdominal surgery today. And this, despite the fact that the pioneer of laparoscopic appendectomy was threatened with the withdrawal of his right to practice the profession[2]. Presently, the development of technology and the constant expansion of qualifications of physicians make it possible for that technique to be used in many fields. Nowadays, no one is surprised that a patient who ends up on the operating table with a lumbar hernia goes home after a few days. Is laparoscopy the future?

Operating table – does the height of the tabletop affect the ergonomics of work?

famed — Tue, 18 Feb 2025 12:17:31 +0000

Operating tables and the technologies involved in their manufacture are changing dynamically. Medical equipment manufacturers are constantly adapting their medical equipment to current trends and requirements. This is being forced upon them by increasingly new surgical methods and recommendations regarding a correct posture at the surgical table. As interest in bariatric surgery grows, the technology that allows the production of a table that meets the requirements in that field is also developing. A bariatric operating table often has to bear a high load of up to half a tonne. To achieve such parameters, it is necessary to develop the sector of electric controllers and hydraulic actuators. These two elements, combined with the segmented column, make it possible to adjust the height even with the load popular in bariatrics.

Shoulder arthroscopy is one of the most popular orthopaedic interventions and is an effective and relatively safe method of diagnosing and treating problems in the shoulder joint. Due to the minimally invasive nature of the procedure, patients can expect a faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery. Due to the popularity of the method, it continues to develop each year, both in terms of the equipment used and the methods employed during the procedure.
