Operating Theaters

There are seven operating theaters in Guangzhou United Family Hospital. They are all well-equipped with state-of-the-art surgical equipment, and are staffed and managed by a team of qualified, experienced, and caring professionals.

Operating Room (OR) 2 is a one-stop hybrid operating room equipped with a portable C arm X-ray machine and digital silhouette angiography system (DSA). It not only can support endoscopic surgery and routine surgical procedures, but can also support a variety of catheter-based endovascular procedures such as cardiac surgery, neurosurgery, and vascular interventional surgery under the real time guidance of the medical imaging equipments, so as to realize the effective integration of multiple technologies, and minimize trauma as well as complications in order to optimize the overall treatment effect.

OR 3 is mainly for orthopedic surgery and OR 8 is mainly for gynecological and obstetric surgery. The other operating rooms are for endoscopic surgery and other general surgeries. We continually invest in the latest medical equipment and facilities to offer you the most advanced, evidence-based treatment options.
