Department Description

The Operating Room (OR) at Mount Zion (MZ) is an inpatient care facility and it’s comprised of 10 suites performing procedures and surgery in breast /plastics, endocrine, otology / head / neck / sinus (OHNS), benign gynecology, ophthalmology, minimally invasive spine, pain services, radiation oncology and orthopedic surgery.

The Mount Zion OR serves patients of least of 18 years of age and patients must be eligible for surgery on an outpatient, inpatient, or overnight stay basis. The OR has recently redesigned and built two new operating suites, which possess state-of-the-art integrated computer and video systems.

The main focus is on cancer treatment with some surgeon clinics located in the Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Center building. This is also the primary site for ophthalmology surgery which continues to grow every year. Recently we added orthopedic surgery to our Mount Zion surgical services. There are three sub- specialties in orthopedics: shoulder joint, hand and wrist, and ankle surgery.

The newest technology that has been adopted in the operating room at Mount Zion includes:

  • The newest generation of Ophthalmology Lasers, Microscopes and Ultrasounds
  • Setimag technology which provides ultrasensitive detection of sentinel lymph node in treatment of breast and lymph nodes
  • The OHNS service performing the (Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery) FESS Sinus Endoscopy procedure and Sleep Apnea Procedures
  • Latest technology in orthopedic surgery
  • The OR staff is diverse both in terms of clinical experience, generational representation, and cultural make-up; a number of nurses on this unit possess more than 30 years of experience specifically at Mount Zion. Nurses are technically astute and operating complex equipment
