Our neuronavigation device has arrived!
MERCI tellement à tous les généreux donateurs qui ont répondu en grand nombre à notre appel!
C’est vraiment un équipement essentiel à la réussite de la chirurgie des sinus. Il permet de visualiser en temps réel la position précise des instruments au cours d’une opération.
Un tel équipement rend la chirurgie – et l’anesthésie! – plus courte et plus sécuritaire. Ça diminue les besoins en hospitalisation des patients et les risques, comme ceux de toucher l’orbite, la base du crâne ou encore les artères.
Grâce à vous, on va pouvoir donner toujours plus les bons soins au bon moment dans leur hôpital local à nos patients.
Thank you for your invaluable support.
I need to confide in you. My fellow physicians and I are facing harder and harder choices. As a physician, as a man, as a citizen, it’s not easy.
Dr Nicolas Charbonneau has a message fot you!

Je suis là pour soigner mes patients. Right now we’re dealing with extraordinary limitations on the health system. Staff shortages. Fewer beds. Less surgery time. Everywhere, waiting lists are growing longer.
That’s why, today, I’m asking you to help! We need specialized equipment more than ever. Can you help us buy a neuronavigation device, used for sinus surgery? Why? To reduce surgery times, hospitalizations and risks. We could operate on more patients in a day!
The greatest risk of proceeding without a neuronavigator? Incomplete surgeries. The other day, I was performing surgery on a patient named Lise for a tumour. She has unusual sinus anatomy. It took three surgeries to completely remove the tumour.
Your gift today will help us give our patients the right care at the right time at their local hospital. Thanks to your generosity, we’ll be the only hospital in the Montérégie to have this equipment. We won’t have to refer our patients elsewhere.
Right now, I’m seeing many patients who haven’t consulted in a long time. They have more advanced, more serious, more aggressive diseases, sinus infections, tumours. This requires more complex surgeries like for Lise. They need help and they’re waiting!
We need more advanced equipment. Unfortunately, this equipment is very expensive. That’s why I’m turning to you.
