The six floors of future surgical and interventional center (CCI) at Rennes University Hospital are now built. It constitutes the “first major step” of the hospital reconstruction project, insists Véronique Anatole-Touzet, general director.

Even if there remains still a lot of work for its planned opening early 2025the management of the health establishment and its partners were keen to present in broad terms the construction site of this building.

The opportunity for news Rennes of to visit part of the future operating rooms and interventional and endoscopy, as well as the future atrium reserved for professionals in operating theaters.

A grouping of activities

While the places of practice of professionals who join the CCI are today distributed over several spaces (9 surgical sites and 3 interventional sites, 9 imaging platforms and 11 critical care units), the construction of the CCI allows grouping in a common space of medical-care disciplines and professionals involved in surgical and interventional care.

The CCI will thus bring together all of the operational activities (excluding obstetrics) and
interventional of the CHU (University Hospital Center) and the Eugène Marquis Cancer Center (CLCC), whether ambulatory, scheduled or unscheduled, as well as critical care and conventional surgical hospitalization beds at the CHU.

A technical platform with many robots

The CCI will have a technical platform equipped with the latest generation equipment. Thus, it will count hybrid rooms, MRI and robotssuch as :

Videos: currently on ActuDes surgical robots (Da Vinci SI, X and Xi) and Hugo Medtronic) o. Robot Rosa (Medtehc) for skull and spine. R-One robot (Robocath) for interventional neuroradiology.

All critical care in one place

Currently broken into several buildingsthe units of critical care with surgical and interventional orientation will be grouped on two dedicated floors (3rd and 4th floors).

It is in this new building that people whose situation falls under critical care will be hospitalized, that is to say whose degree of seriousness requires reinforced monitoring as is the case in surgical and cardiac resuscitation or in neurosurgical, neurovascular, cardiological intensive care.

Located on levels 3 and 4, critical care will occupy a strategic location since they will be in direct proximity to operating theaters and accessible via the “red axis” and connected to the Centre cardio-pneumologique (CCP) by a footbridge.

The surgical and interventional center in figures

– 50,000 square meters spread over 8 levels including 6 floors.
– A block of 55 rooms: 36 operating rooms, 14 interventional rooms including 2 hybrid and 5 endoscopy rooms.
– 1 ambulatory and interventional surgery center with 60 places.
– 240 surgical hospitalization beds.
– 108 critical care beds.
– 1 helipad on the roof.
– 1 medical-care forum dedicated to professionals.

Spaces reserved for staff

The second floor will be entirely reserved for staff. At the heart of the building, this floor will be connected to the Cardio-Pneumological Center (CCP) and the future Women-Mother-Child Center (FME) by sheltered walkways for travel by surgeons, anesthetists and caregivers working in several buildings.

This level will bring together the cloakrooms staff, connected on the esplanade side to the convivial spaces of the medical-care forum (large common room).

A set of glass boxes of different sizes will be made available to operators to debrief between two operations, exchange knowledge and techniques, or even attend the live broadcast of an intervention carried out at lower levels.

From the second floor:

A staircase and elevators will allow doctors and “white” staff to reach the medical-care forum, critical care or hospitalization units located on the upper levels. Staff “in blue” (working in the operating room) will have direct access to the protected sector via a naturally lit atrium from which it will be enough to descend to reach the operating platforms without leaving the protected environment of the operating room. The atrium of the future surgical and interventional center of the Rennes University Hospital will be reserved for staff and located in the center of the operating theaters.

It will thus be possible to work on the technical organs of the block without having to enter its enclosure.

A new outpatient center

The CCI will have an outpatient center between the reception hall and the operating theaters. 60 places :

A first space of 12 intrablock cocoonsvery close to the operating room, will allow very short support and therefore faster rehabilitation of the patient. A second space of 28 individual cocoons outside the block – extra-block – for support including average length of stay is of a few hours only.
These cocoons will allow patients and their loved ones greater proximity during the postoperative phase and therefore involve them collectively in rehabilitation after surgery. A third space of 20 individual boxes will welcome more complex surgeries such as a total hip prosthesis. “We will have larger spaces here to accommodate one day stays and calmly prepare for the patient’s discharge alongside the accompanying person,” specifies the University Hospital.

The centre endoscopy will be organized into two distinct flows to facilitate patient care. He will understand five roomsalso served by a dedicated entrance located on the ground floor.

This space will be organized according to distinct flows, so that patients who come for a examen diagnostic do not interfere with the ambulatory course of those for whom a endoscopy under anesthesia is necessary.

Desired comfortable and bright spaces

With its large windows, its four interior patios expanding onto terraced gardens, or its two atriums, the Surgical and Interventional Center will bring natural light into the center of each of the floors, into the living spaces and even down to the garden level.

This architecture, entirely open to the outside environment, will provide everyone with a warm, peaceful and human environment. Thus, the levels of operating theaters and technical rooms will have a natural light.

In hospitalization, the rooms, with views thanks to large openings where the patient is in permanent contact with the outside world, will also be very bright. THE medical equipment will do it discreetto give way to hotel comfort.

They will be equipped with multi-use sensors which allow individual management of room temperature, brightness, acoustic comfort and air quality.

Finally, thanks to a complete network coverage via technologies Wi-Fi et Bluetootheach patient will have access to a wide range of digital services (Internet, television, video on demand, telephony, etc.).
