Doctors at the Institute of Emergency Medicine will have a virtual help during endoprosthetic operations. It's a computer equipped with an infrared camera that provides more precision.

The equipment was offered free of charge by a company that sells hospital prostheses.

To learn how to handle it, a few doctors went to a training course in France. They say they can now rule out medical errors because they can scrutinize each bone or blood vessel closely. 

"In the event of incorrect application or incorrect alignment of the knee prostheses or hip prostheses, these devices will go out of function sooner. And then if in case of correct implantation, the prosthesis should work for about 10 to 15 years in In case of correct implantation, she works for a year and then dies. "Respectively, we have to do a new surgery with even greater risks", said Dr. Orpheus Orthopedic Section no.2, Alexandru Betisor.

Several patients have already been operated with this device, which is a first for our country. Nadeja Rapcea, for example, had a left foot surgery in 2016, and now she was given a prosthesis to her right foot.

The woman says she feels much better than the previous surgery. 

"Less pain, but no foot was like that. The other side was loud, but it was not like that".

According to surgeons, due to innovation, during surgery, the patient loses up to 40 percent less blood, and this means faster recovery.

In France, this device costs around 15,000 euros. 

"We sell this computerized support system in many countries around the world, in Europe, Australia, in many countries", said producer representative Nicolas Grellet. 

The director of the Institute of Urgent Medicine says that this collaboration will benefit patients, first of all. 

"This year, we plan to perform 1,200 endoprotections.In practice, in 2019, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Social Protection jointly with the National Health Insurance Company doubled the number of surgical interventions", the director of the Institute of Urgent Medicine Mihai Ciocanu.

The cost of a knee endoprosthesis varies between 43,000 and 100,000 lei. At the Institute of Emergency Medicine, intervention is covered medical insurance.
