Descri

ption:
Medical Forum Theatre – the Eastern Cape’s first private day hospital – has a longstanding history within the metro. Founded during the 1960’s by Dr Johan du Toit (now retired), its legacy continues to avail general theatre space to other medical practitioners for day case surgeries. The team of medical professionals at the Eye and Laser Institute set out to create a Centre of Excellence for Ophthalmology care in the Eastern Cape through the Eye and Laser Institute, with a strong focus on day surgery.

“The entire value chain is focused on efficiency and quality nursing care,” said Dr Andries Marais, managing director. Uncompromising service and high quality nursing care ensures that patients are discharged within three to four hours, depending on the procedure. In addition to the ease of not having to stay for a long period of time, patients also find the experience of entering the Medical Forum Theatre less daunting than a large hospital.

LESS PAIN, MORE GAIN! – SHOULDER SURGERY IN UNDER 2 HOURS 🕑💪

Join us as we celebrate a proud moment at Advanced MFT

👨‍⚕️ Dr. Hurter, one of Port Elizabeth’s top Orthopaedic Specialists, has performed over 1,462 procedures at our facility since October 2020 – with 1054 arthroscopic shoulder surgeries completed by the end of June!

Why Shoulder Arthroscopy?
Unlike traditional open surgery, arthroscopic procedures involve only small incisions. Using a tiny camera called an arthroscope, Dr. Hurter can view the shoulder joint in high detail and guide precision instruments to repair damage with remarkable accuracy.
Patients benefit from:
✅ Reduced risk of infection
✅ Minimal scarring
✅ Shorter recovery time
✅ Significantly less post-operative pain

Thanks to continuous advancements in instruments and techniques, shoulder arthroscopy is safer, quicker, and more effective than ever before.

📍 Dr. Hurter and the team at AMFT are proud to offer world-class orthopaedic care – right here in Port Elizabeth (GQ)!

What are Eustachian tubes?
The main function of the Eustachian tube is to equalize the air pressure in the middle ear with the pressure from the outside, since it connects the middle ear with the back of the nose and the upper part of throat. It also helps to drain fluids from the middle ear Inside the ear…… The problems with ear pressure equalization are often caused by the Eustachian tube not opening properly. This is called “tube ventilation dysfunction” or “eustachian tube dysfunction”
