Specialized medical care here is really at a high level. The work of the research institute is aimed at solving several problems. First of all, this is emergency care for minors, requiring surgical intervention. Most of the work is also carried out by research. Specialists are looking for new ways to solve the problems associated with acute surgical diseases.

Good results are also achieved thanks to modern equipment. The technique with which primary health care is provided can lead the institution to the level of European clinics. This is the merit of numerous sponsors who do not leave small patients in need who need emergency care in trouble.
The development of the institute would not have been possible if management had not put maximum effort into their work. Roshal Leonid Mikhailovich - President of the Research Institute of Pediatric Traumatology and Surgery. A public figure, doctor of medical sciences, professor also finds time for the treatment of small patients.
Consultative and Diagnostic Department
The department based on the institute began to function in 2010. Here is the district trauma center, which provides assistance to young patients if hospitalization is not required. Services can be provided both urgently and by appointment. Patients who come for a routine examination must first get a card in the registry, then take the ticket to the desired office.
In acute pain, emergency care may be provided. The district trauma center includes a purulent dressing (for treating infectious wounds), plaster (dressings for various injuries are performed here), an X-ray room. The department has the necessary equipment to quickly determine the location of the injury, its severity.
Emergency and emergency medical care is provided to juvenile patients with neurosurgical pathologies, diseases of the musculoskeletal system, craniocerebral injuries, and complex surgical pathologies.
Department of Traumatology and Disaster Medicine
The Research Institute of Pediatric Traumatology and Surgery on Polyanka is the place where the latest methods of treating skeletal injuries are applied. It is here that minor patients get after automobile and domestic accidents. The Department of Traumatology and Disaster Medicine is equipped with all the necessary equipment to urgently respond to any serious situations. The hospital’s arsenal includes electro-optical transducers, equipment for emergency anesthesia, lung ventilation, radiopaque operating tables, mobile units for ultrasound and X-ray diagnostics.
Institute specialists have the skills to treat the most complex injuries of the musculoskeletal system. Minimally invasive techniques are used that increase the chances of a full life for the child in the future.
In most cases, fractures in children do not require surgical treatment. It is enough to perform manual stabilization of bone fragments, correctly apply a plaster cast. The junior medical staff has all the necessary first aid skills.
Due to the anatomical structure in preschool children, injuries of the knee joints often occur. For the treatment of injuries in the walls of a medical institution, a modern technique is used - arthroscopy. There is no need to make an incision, after which a scar remains for life. The specialist performs several punctures in the area of the damaged joint, inserts a video camera (for the purpose of diagnosis), as well as surgical instruments.
Serious injuries require complex surgical interventions on the musculoskeletal system. The Research Institute of Emergency Pediatric Surgery and Traumatology is a place where specialists provide care to small patients as delicately as possible. This reduces the risk of complications during the rehabilitation period.
Department of Neurosurgery and Neurotrauma
The Research Institute of Pediatric Traumatology and Surgery on Polyanka is today the leading medical institution in Moscow that deals with the treatment of serious traumatic brain injuries in children. The technique of microsurgical and endoscopic operations is not mastered by specialists in all clinics. The doctors of the institute regularly increase their knowledge, go to international conferences, and gain experience in foreign medical institutions. Thanks to this, the scientific research institute manages to carry out complex operations and save the lives of young patients.
The Institute has a good diagnostic potential, allowing the treatment of children with complex neurosurgical pathologies. In the arsenal of a medical institution are CT and MRI devices, equipment for electroencephalography and neurosonography. A laboratory works around the clock, allowing you to quickly examine damaged tissues and blood of small patients. Children who are registered in Moscow and the Moscow Region receive neurosurgical assistance free of charge.
Operating department
This includes children with emergency pathologies requiring surgical interventions. The block includes six operating rooms. Research Institute of Pediatric Traumatology and Surgery (Bolshaya Polyanka) is a medical institution equipped with advanced technologies.

Small patients feel comfortable and reduce the risk of pressure sores.
In the operating unit there is equipment for conducting minor traumatic surgical interventions. This is a laser, electrocoagulators, ultrasound equipment. In many clinical cases, modern techniques can be used to avoid blood loss during operations. In the event of force majeure, the Research Institute of Pediatric Traumatology and Surgery on Polyanka has an autonomous power supply system. All operating rooms are equipped with additional energy sources.
Purulent Surgery Department
If the child is not provided with timely primary health care when injured, the risk of infection is increased. However, slight damage can cause serious complications. Specialists of the purulent surgery department are involved in the treatment of purulent-inflammatory diseases of the soft tissues in young patients. This also includes patients with osteomyelitis, as well as a complex form of appendicitis. The department uses modern diagnostic methods, including laparoscopy. Thanks to this approach, specialists are able to identify the localization of infection, to select antibacterial drugs, taking into account the sensitivity of pathogenic microflora.
The purulent surgery department is located in the modern building of the institute. At the same time, up to 50 small patients can be accommodated here. There are wards in which children can stay with their parents. Additionally, massage rooms, physiotherapy exercises, and physiotherapeutic procedures function.

Rehabilitation department
Timely assistance to a child is only half the success. Decisive is the period of rehabilitation. If specialists do everything right, even after a serious injury, a small patient will be able to lead a full-fledged lifestyle. The department employs doctors who help to eliminate physiological, somatic, psychological disorders that arose as a result of traumatic brain injury. The work uses an integrated approach. This includes physiotherapeutic procedures (therapeutic baths, massage, exercise therapy), consultations with a speech therapist, psychologist, cardiologist, ophthalmologist and other related specialists.
The rehabilitation hospital and the trauma center are closely related.

Research activity
The activities of the Research Institute of Pediatric Traumatology and Surgery are aimed not only at providing emergency care, but also at finding new ways to treat complex patients. It is mandatory to maintain a unified information system that allows you to record all the clinical cases encountered by specialists of a medical institution. An electronic medical history is made for each patient . In this way, it is possible not only to archive information about patients with the least cost, but also to find the necessary data as quickly as possible when the patient is re-admitted.
Information support of the scientific and practical activities of the Institute is carried out using the medical library. Here is stored not only time-tested, but also modern literature on surgery, traumatology and other related branches of medicine. A considerable contribution to the development of the library was made by the president of the research institute, Roshal Leonid Mikhailovich.
