Theatres

There are six General Theatres at Torbay Hospital which undertake approximately 11,000 elective and urgent inpatient and day case procedures each year:

• ENT
• General Surgery
• Gynaecology
• Maxillofacial
• Ophthalmology
• Urology
• Vascular Surgery

Emergency services

A theatre team is on duty at all times to undertake emergency procedures, with a second team available, on-call, out-of-hours and weekends.

A well-equipped 15-bedded recovery area is staffed 24-hours-a-day where patients are closely monitored and kept comfortable following anaesthesia and surgery before returning to the ward.
