ACCURACY

The use of intraoperative O-arm neuronavigation system provides real time 3D images as well as fluoroscopic imaging, thus improving surgical precision.

EFFICACY

Computer-assisted image-guided surgery has proven most effective in spinal and cranial procedures and provides a higher accuracy in the placement of transpedicular screws (ATP).

RELIABILITY

Intraoperative CT scanning is used together with neuronavigation, which results in shorter hospitalisation of the patients, lower risk of complications and repeat surgery, as well as substantial cost savings.

MULTIDISCIPLINARY UNIT: NEUROSURGERY SERVICES

Directed by Dr Manuel De la Torre Gutiérrez, the unit is the only centre in Spain which can boast two intraoperative O-arm neuronavigation systems that can be used simultaneously. Highly-effective advanced technology is combined with a personalised approach to ensure that the treatment is tailored to the individual patient’s needs.

The unit is located in a completely renovated 650 m² area within the Hospital Ruber in Madrid. It has 3 operating rooms with state-of-the-art equipment, a Rehabilitation Unit and a Physiotherapy and Pain Management Unit along with admission offices, nine consultation rooms with examination areas and four waiting rooms.
