Pre-admission Clinics/Day of Admission UnitsOperating Rooms There are 16 Operating Rooms currently providing surgical services within RQHR; 9 at RGH and 7 at Pasqua. The Regina General Hospital has two minimally invasive surgical suites used for gynecological, urological and orthopedic surgeries. These suites provide a sophisticated surgical environment that uses laparoscopic technology and video imaging. They will also provide instant connections for surgeons to consult between the two suites, with other surgeons' offices and even other hospitals around the world. When compared with open surgery, MIS patients experience less pain and scarring with fewer complications and can resume their normal activities much more quickly.

Day Surgery Units These units provide post-operative care to patients admitted and discharged on the day of surgery. Inpatient Surgical Units Inpatient units provide post-operative care to patients requiring extended lengths of stay.
