Image guided brain and spinal surgery
Image-guided surgery provides a method, through the use of computers, image displays, and advanced tracking technology, that surgeons can now pre-plan surgical procedures and track the instruments they will use for the surgery in real time. Image guided surgery enables the surgeon to see where he or she is going prior to going there and to track their path as they proceed.
Patients may be interested in the use of image-guided surgery for multiple reasons. Image-guided surgery systems can increase
accuracy levels in both identifying and removing tumors or lesions
and in the placement of implants for spinal surgery. Image-guided surgery systems can also enable surgeons to more accurately
identify surgical entry points and targets and reduce the size of
incision or entry point necessary to perform an operation. These
benefits often lead to shorter hospital stays and faster recovery. |
