    Zaurus

    Our team’s shisis surgeons perform a number of checks after operations via Zaurus, an online video chat program. It can be compared to Skype or FaceTime, a secured environment. Of course, we would like to see you in the hospital when necessary, but in a number of cases it is more practical for you, and works just as well, to contact us via a tablet or computer. Feel free to ask about the possibilities.

  • Community

    The schisis team has a patient and parent community. In this protected community, you can get in touch with other patients and parents, share experiences with one another and also read articles and information from our team. You can also ask the team questions.
