St. Mark's official opening of laparoscopic theatre
On 17th November 2008, TV presenter Lynn Faulds-Wood, founder of Lynn's Bowel Cancer Campaign, and TV broadcaster John Stapleton officially opened the newly built laparoscopic theatre.
The theatre combines the latest high-tech equipment and high definition imaging, allowing surgeons to carry out complex surgery by making only small incisions. Also offering not only less invasive surgery but faster recovery times for patients.
St Mark's is one of only a few hospitals in London to use keyhole surgery for advanced complex procedures such as removal of the bowel. The new theatre will also benefit other patients with urological and gynaecological problems.
Robin Kennedy, Consultant Surgeon at St Mark's,gave a presentation, which included a live demonstration of keyhole surgery, transmitted in high definition from the new theatre.
