SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
Intraoperative image guided navigational surgery (IGS) allows the surgeon to operate within a surgical site whose standard anatomical landmarks may be ambiguous because of tumor, infection, fracture or previous surgery. Studies suggest that IGS may result in decreased complications, increased disease removal, decreased length of stay and in some cases decreased operative time.
Meta Dynamic supplies the Neuro Navigation system which includes the equipment, hardware and software to perform image guided neurosurgery. Digital patient data is uploaded from the computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) located at Natividad Medical Center to the Neuro Navigation system in the Operating Room (OR) assisting the surgeon in identifying the right surgical approach and more specifically landmarks. Surgeons are guided through procedures with real time data allowing for smaller skull and back (spine surgery) incisions thereby minimizing damage to healthy structures. With the universal instrument holder (VarioGuide™), preplanned trajectories can be targeted systematically within seconds and anytime during the surgery...
