Surgeons from Sunnybrook and Michael Garron hospitals plan to do 1,300 more hip and knee replacements over the next year by operating on Saturdays, Sundays.
Two Toronto hospitals have partnered to open operating rooms on weekends to perform more joint replacement surgeries — the latest move by Ontario hospitals to try to address a surgical backlog that soared during the pandemic.
Hospital leaders say the new initiative will cut the number of people waiting for joint replacement surgeries in Toronto by 25 per cent by April 2024. “Adding additional capacity — running our operating rooms beyond our normal hours — we know that could make a difference.”, is run using existing hospital resources, with Sunnybrook hiring additional nurses to help staff the weekend ORs at its Holland Centre.which earlier this year started leasing out operating and recovery rooms on weekends
Currently, TRAC includes orthopedic surgeons from Sunnybrook and Michael Garron, with the hope that other Toronto-area hospitals will join in the coming months.
