The Next Generation in Abington’s Neurosurgical Capabilities
To realize the next generation in neurosurgical interventions, we will interlock technologies, expertise, and experience to enable our surgeons to see like never before—leveraging the latest in robotics, imaging, and microscope technology to treat the most complex of tumors in the spine and brain.
- Neurosurgical Robot: Similar to the DaVinci robot for general surgery, this precision-guided arm makes complex procedures like spinal drilling and screw placement exceptionally accurate, delivering enhanced operative outcomes and less-invasive options for spine and brain tumor treatment.
- Navigation System with 3D C-arm: The mobile intraoperative CT imaging system seamlessly integrates into the operative environment to provide optimized imaging for cranial and spinal procedures.
- Video Microscope: Combined with the new robotic capabilities of the Abington Neurosurgery OR, a video microscope plays an indispensable role in performing state-of-the-art surgeries, allowing the entire surgical team to see what the surgeon is seeing—with uninterrupted viewing and enhanced accuracy.
