SPARSH Hospital introduces surgical imaging and navigation system

This technology in Brain and Spine surgery gives enhanced visualisation and greater accuracy during surgery

SPARSH Hospital in association with Sita Bhateja Trust has introduced the ‘O-arm’ surgical imaging system’ and ‘StealthStation S8’ Surgical navigation. This technology in Brain and Spine surgery gives enhanced visualisation and greater accuracy during surgery.

The O-arm System provides high quality 2D and 3D images which are automatically synced to the StealthStation S8 Navigation system. Using these high definition intraoperative scans, the StealthStation S8 navigation system allows surgeons to visualise the patient’s anatomy in 3D and localise instrument and implants throughout the procedure. Surgeons can precisely locate where they are in the patient’s anatomy during surgery using the O-Arm and StealthStation S8 Navigation system, providing them with accuracy. Akin to a GPS navigation system on the road.

For patients, it means smaller incisions, a faster recovery time, and enhanced surgical outcomes along with improved overall satisfaction.

Dr Arvind Bhateja, Lead-Neuro & Spine Surgeon, SPARSH Hospital, said, “The O-arm and StealthStation S8 Navigation system offers surgical accuracy at a whole new level. In the conventional approach to spinal surgery, surgeons typically rely on CTs, X-Rays and MRIs taken prior to the surgery. Imaging plays a crucial role in assisting the surgical team during the surgery. With the O-arm technique, surgeons can monitor the development as it occurs. The real-time multi-dimensional images greatly improves accuracy and allows us to make on-table decisions. The high level of precision provided by the system allows for minimally invasive surgery, greater accuracy, quicker operative time and faster recovery and rehabilitation.”
