The central operating theatre –
combining high-tech and humanity
The central operating theatre is the operational heart of our hospital, a place where we combine high-tech and humanity at the Tauernkliniken. Here, state-of-the-art medical technology, well-established procedures and the highest hygiene standards come together to perform operations safely and successfully. For several
years now, the operating area in Zell am See has comprised six operating theatres, and the entire department has been expanded by two operating theatres. As part of these renovations, the intensive care unit and recovery area have also been enlarged and modernised. Our operating theatres are equipped with the latest technology, enabling our doctors to perform even complex procedures with precision and care. Through central coordination and clear structures, we create short distances and optimal working conditions – always with the aim of ensuring the best possible care for our patients.



Operating theatre nursing – expertise, experience and proximity
Our team of surgical nurses plays an indispensable role in the success of treatment. With their expertise, care and empathy, they support every single procedure.
Our surgical nurses are responsible for:
- Preparing and tidying up the operating theatre
- Assisting during surgery in close cooperation with the doctors
- Ensuring the highest standards of hygiene and sterility
- Providing individual care for patients before, during and after the procedure
For us, the focus is not only on the medical and technical aspects, but also on human interaction: we take fears seriously, answer questions and create an environment in which you can feel confident.
Patient care – in good hands all round
For many people, surgery is associated with worry and uncertainty. That is why we attach great importance to providing you with the best possible support, not only medically but also personally.

Our patient care includes:
- Comprehensible and transparent information prior to the procedure
- Sensitive support during preparation and transition to the operating theatre
- Comprehensive pain and wound management after the operation
- Continuous care by nursing and medical teams until you are able to return to your everyday life feeling refreshed
We always focus on your individual needs and wishes – with respect, attentiveness and human warmth. At Tauernkliniken, we combine the highest medical quality with respectful, personal care. Through the interaction of the central operating theatre, surgical nursing and patient care, we create an environment in which you feel safe, understood and well looked after. Because for us, it is not only medical success that counts – above all, it is your well-being.
