| Brains Hospital which is working to move ahead with the latest technology for spine surgery has now installed mobile fluroscopy machine: Ziehm Hybrid RFD 3D HE Intra-operative Imaging System. Surgery of the spine and nerves have to be under taken with utmost meticulousness and accuracy. Even a slight variation can lead to serious consequences as well as disability. The mobile fluroscopy machine offers surgeons three dimensional imaging with exceptional clarity, helping them achieve pin-point precision with never-before confidence and speed, said the hospital. Now surgeons at the Brains Hospital pair the Ziehm with another first-in-India technology: Stryker navigation system NAV3i. The computer-assisted, navigation guidance suite gives real-time feedback about the position, direction and progress of surgery aided by in-built pre-programmed and planned safety checks. These installation have enabled the hospital to set up a hybrid operation theatre for the spine surgery. The hospital stated that it is the first in the country to house the world’s best high-end equipment for spine surgery that gives 100 percent accuracy and 3D imaging. Deployed together, these two systems have helped doctors achieve perfection in spinal surgery and reduce the chances of errors to near zero, said Dr. Venkataramana NK, founder & chief neurosurgeon, Brains Hospital. "These technologies enable our surgeons to operate with extremely small incisions with minimal invasiveness and muscle dissection without disturbing the joints, ligaments and other supportive elements. They also greatly enhance the possibility of using minimally invasive surgery for fixing unstable spines percutaneously, using key holes," he added. "Pushing our capabilities in spinal surgery even further we have inducted sophisticated neuro-spinal endoscopy systems and technologies like the Foramenoscopy that helps us perform advanced spinal surgeries with world-class precision and excellent outcomes," said Dr. Venkataramana.
