Surgical Complications: Mobile Surgery vs. Hospital Surgery.
Mobile Surgery (MS) is an innovative method of delivering high quality surgical expertise and technology
to underprivileged and remote areas. This is done by means of transporting a custom-built operating
room in a truck and performing the operations on-site. Patients are referred to our program by
rural doctors and family physicians. A screening process is completed by our surgical team, and those
patients who meet our selection criteria are offered surgical treatment. Operations are meticulously performed
and patients recover under our close observation in rural health centers, school rooms, or tents with
our Mobile Surgical Unit (MSU) stationed adjacent to them.
