Optimal Patient Care

Safety First

Everything we do has one central thought, the age old medical saying Primum non Nocere. This means that we are making sure that the environment around the patient is safe.

All surgery goes to protocol safety checkups

  • Before (screening by the department of anaesthesiology and if needed other specialties such as internal medicine and cardiology)
  • During (the time out and sign out checklist procedures) and after surgery (protocolled postop and follow-up checks)

In and out

With modern minimal invasive techniques we continuously strive for minimal impact and minimal complication of our surgery.

In addition, postoperative modern fast-track protocols are applied to ensure speedy recovery. This leads to less time in the hospital and a better overall experience of the surgery.

Verifiable

Evidence based Medicine.

The CaSES believes in the principle of evidence-based medicine. We, therefore, have set up our digital data banking program that gives real-time feedback on all or surgery related information and surgical results.

TESTIMONIALS

CaSES has been a great at allowing Caribbean surgeons to share experiences and learn from each other and this has been especially beneficial for low resource smaller countries within the region.

Dr Charles Greenidge

I am happy to be a part of this prestigious group of surgeons who are always striving to provide the best care for their patients.

Dr Wesley Francis

To me, CaSES means advancement for Caribbean surgery so that even in a 'country' hospital like Percy Junor Hospital in Jamaica a patient may get appendectomy, hernia repair, colectomy, tubal ligation, cholecystectomy or even hysterectomy done laparoscopically. CaSES gives strength to surgeons in the Caribbean who want patients to have these options.

Dr. Carlos B. Wilson
