It has 775 beds, treats more than 25,000 patients a year, performs more than 10,000 surgeries and delivers about 4,000 babies. It is equipped with advanced CT and MRI scanners, a state-of-the-art digital biplane angiography system with electrophysiology laboratory and intracardiac navigation system, and single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT).

BSMU surgeons perform high-tech procedures including intra-bronchial valve placement, surgical reconstruction of the trachea, video-assisted thoracic lobectomy, endovascular manipulation, minimally invasive abdominal surgery, laparoscopic liver and pancreatic resection, prostatectomy, stomach and small bowel reconstruction, pelvic exenteration, brachytherapy, cryoablation of bone metastases.

BSMU Affiliated Hospital regularly hosts master classes of prominent Russian and foreign specialists to promote the transfer of leading medical technologies. About 50 master classes are held every year. Such prominent doctors have visited BSMU Affiliated Hospital RAS Academician R.S. Akchurin (heart valve replacement), Professor P.V. Tsar'kov (pelvic floor surgery, surgical treatment of rectocele), Professor V.N. Yegiev (ventral hernia treatment), Professor D.P.

In 2018, the Robotic Surgery Centre was opened at the BSMU Affiliated Hospital.

Robotic surgery is at the forefront of surgical medicine. Technological advances, reflected in improvements in computer technology, digital equipment and robotic instruments, have allowed us to take minimally invasive surgery to a whole new level of visualisation and precision.
