First intraoperative O-Arm 2 scanner. Quirón Hospital

The Quirón Hospital in Barcelona, in collaboration with the Clavel Institute, has just integrated the first latest generation intraoperative scanner O-arm® 2 and the stealth intraoperative navigation station S7 in Spain .

This new system, from Medtronic, will be used for neurosurgery and spinal procedures by the team led by Dr Pablo Clavel.
This pioneering system enables navigation with high precision data, two-dimensional and three-dimensional images during operations in the operating room and in real time, increasing patient safety, as well as performance and efficiency of surgical activity
With the new generation equipment O-arm® 2, the first of its characteristics to be installed in Spain and the ninth in Europe, the medical team of the Clavel Institute gains in precision in each surgery, improves the mechanical efficiency of implants used in the treatment of vertebral pathology, it avoids reoperations and postoperative radiological examinations . During each procedure, surgeons have multidimensional snapshots and fluoroscopic images that allow them to visualize the patient’s anatomy in the operative position, monitor the status of the surgery and verify surgical changes with an image. 3D volumetric before the patient leaves the operating room. With this revolutionary system, used for neurosurgery patients at Quirón Barcelona Hospital, patients benefit from less invasive surgery, shorter operation, faster recovery and better end result .
This new high-tech model halves the radiation dose when taking images and allows a much larger three-dimensional volume to be acquired . The equipment installed at Quirón Barcelona Hospital has a gantry similar to that of a scanner but with opening and closing around the patient so that they remain sterile in the operating field, which is safer.
With the integration of this cutting-edge technology, the Clavel Institute – founded by Dr Pablo Clavel, neurosurgeon specializing in spine surgery – has established itself as a world reference center in non-invasive neurosurgery techniques.
