Asklepios is a pioneer when it comes to using state-of-the-art technology. The example of the Robotic Suite shows how both the quality of medical treatment and patient well-being benefit enormously from this.
Robotic Suite
At the beginning of 2022, Asklepios Klinik Schildautal Seesen became the first hospital in Germany to establish the comprehensive digital surgical system from Brainlab, thereby demonstrating how innovation and digitalisation can improve medical quality.
“Cirq” robot arm
Stability, consistency and precision are crucial factors in surgical interventions. The surgical robot “Cirq” is modelled on the human arm and provides precise support as a portable, remote-controlled assistant. For example, it can be used to position implants more accurately.
“Loop-X” mobile imaging system
The robot-assisted mobile imaging system “Loop-X” is characterised by an especially large field of vision. It allows for high-resolution X-rays in both 2D and 3D during the operation. This ensures an optimised, time-saving workflow and gives the team more freedom and control with surgical imaging.
“Curve” navigation system
This state-of-the-art surgical navigation platform brings together all patient data and allows the operation to be planned, reviewed, documented and streamed from anywhere. “Curve” consists of a moveable trolley with a camera and a high-resolution display. A 32-inch touch-screen display allows for efficient data management and visualisation in 4K.
Core planning software
With the core planning software, surgeons can precisely plan and simulate
interventions
in the head area and the spine in advance and navigate them with 3D
animations. This
makes the treatment even easier on the patients,
as doctors can, for example, map tumours and risk structures precisely in 3D
patient
images and go through all surgical incisions in advance down to the last
detail before
they implement these in the actual operation.
This precision represents an important advance in neurosurgery.
