2020-11-09 -

We provide specialized care, backed by more than 50 years of experience. We have highly qualified personnel, comfortable facilities and next-gen technology, which allow us to provide you with quality care.

We have high-tech equipment in the nuclear medicine department where we perform gammagraphy, treatment with sodium orthophosphate for pain relief and bone densitometry, among other tests.

The hospital has an angiology and vascular surgery service that provides regenerative medicine services and covers a series of entities that belong to the specialty. For more than a decade, conditions such as chronic arterial insufficiency, lymphedema and diabetic neuropathy have been treated, showing excellent results. We have several methods, which are individualized for each patient. We began to perform stem cell implantation, after stimulation with Granulocyte Colony Stimulating Factor (HIBERVITAL), intramuscularly and with the aim of simplifying the process. Currently, we are developing it by intrarenal route, which has many advantages, since it does not require an operating room and is performed on an outpatient basis. With this treatment option, effective results and better quality of life for patients have been obtained.

Radiosynoviorthesis or radiosynovectomy is a nuclear medicine treatment that's only performed in our hospital as far as Cba is concerned. It consists of intra-articular injection of a small dose of a radiopharmaceutical β for the treatment of chronic synovitis due to different conditions. We have reaped the best results in rheumatoid arthritis, hemophilia and osteoarthritis (activated arthrosis). This method of treatment has, among many others, the following advantages:

1. Minor intervention

2. Accessibility, because it is an outpatient procedure

3. It can be used in inoperable patients or high surgical risk

4. Allows to treat multiple joints simultaneously or in short intervals

5. Low cost, compared to surgery

6. Avoids, in many cases, open surgical or arthroscopic synovectomy and joint replacement

7. Low rate of side effects

8. In case of little improvement it is possible to repeat the treatment or use surgery

9. Rehabilitation treatment is not necessary because of its application

10. It favors the reduction of the use of medicines

11. Prevents or reduces the frequency of hemarthrosis in hemophiliacs

12. It is a treatment that is carried out only in highly developed countries

At Sanatorio Galigarcía, our hospital's Psychiatric Center, we offer specialized programs to patients with psychiatric pathologies such as: addictions, affective disorders, perinatal mental health, among other services.
