Minimally Invasive Surgery - Hospitals of Regina Foundation

As Mediacal Director for the Women's Health Clinic at the Regina General Hospital, Dr. John Thiel is proud to offer patients from across southern Saskatchewan care that is second to none in the country, thanks to two new Minimally Invasive Surgical (MIS) suites funded by Hospitals of Regina Foundation donors.

"When I operate, I think how lucky I am to operate in a suite like this, which is as good as any operating theatre in Canada or in the US," says Dr. Thiel. "I like that feeling. I like knowing that when I'm in Regina, I'm offering my patients the same care they would get in Toronto, in Vancouver, or in San Francisco.

Thiel, a gynecologist and endoscopic surgeon, explains that the new equipment uses cutting edge laparoscopic technology and high definition imaging. "When I bring people in here to show them the equipment, they are blown away by the quality of the images," he says. "Right from something as simple as equipment on a boom up to high definition monitors and the capture system, it's just been state-of-the-art equipment and has made our jobs as surgeons much easier."
