MML Medical Center is a multi-specialty facility in Warsaw, Poland. It operates as a combined outpatient clinic and hospital, specializing in one-day surgery for adults and children. The facility has two operating rooms, nine diagnostic-treatment rooms, and an 11-bed ward for overnight observation.
Medical Specialties and Surgical Expertise
The clinic focuses on procedure-based surgical specialties and diagnostics. Its surgical team includes 15 doctors working across several departments.
Otorhinolaryngology (ENT)
ENT specialists treat diseases of the ears, nose, throat, and larynx. The department leads in functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) performed through the nostrils. Dr. Michał Michalik, a pioneer in the field, introduced balloon sinuplasty to the clinic.
For tonsil or adenoid issues, the clinic uses several methods:
- Diode laser for precise tissue reduction
- Celon bipolar RFITT thermoablation for snoring and apnea
- Harmonic scalpel to minimize bleeding during surgery
The clinic also offers balloon sinuplasty (Balonoplastyka). This method uses flexible catheters to clear blocked sinuses without incisions. Surgeons also correct deviated septums and remove polyps causing nasal congestion.
Ophthalmology and Diagnostics
The ophthalmology department performs phacoemulsification for cataract treatment. Ultrasound breaks up the cloudy lens, which is then replaced with an intraocular implant. If cloudiness develops after surgery, posterior laser capsulotomy can restore clear vision.
Diagnostic tests support these treatments:
- Gonioscopy for glaucoma assessment
- Videonystagmography for balance disorders
- Tonal and impedance audiometry for hearing loss
- Computerized rhinomanometry for nasal airway testing
Specialists also manage chronic sinusitis linked to allergies. Testing includes skin prick tests and IgE antibody screenings.
Breast Surgery and Aesthetic Medicine
The breast surgery program offers oncoplastic tumor removal and risk-reducing mastectomies. Reconstruction options include implants, expanders, or LD flaps using tissue from the back. Surgeons also restore breast symmetry and reconstruct the nipple-areola complex.
Aesthetic medicine focuses on non-surgical facial rejuvenation. Dr. Marcin Repetowski performs botulinum therapy and wrinkle filling. These treatments target forehead lines and crow's feet.
Advanced Diagnostic Laboratory
The center runs a full-profile laboratory to support surgical planning. This means patients get accurate pre-treatment assessments in one location. Services include:
- Microbiological and bacteriological testing
- Histopathological analysis of tissue samples
- Tumor marker screenings
- Advanced sinus microbiome studies using nanopore sequencing
The clinic also participates in research to improve sinus treatment outcomes.
Services for International Patients
MML Medical Center operates within the Medicover network. This partnership enables collaboration with Medicover Hospital in Warsaw Wilanów for expanded care. Patients who need overnight medical supervision can stay at the clinic's ward. Staff monitor recovery and confirm readiness before discharge. The center's personnel speak Polish and English.
