At GNS Surgery Center in Athens, Georgia, our commitment to patient care and satisfaction is central to our mission. As a dedicated neurosurgery center specializing in spine surgery, we continuously seek to improve our surgical capabilities and can enhance outcomes for our patients. One of the key technologies that supports this goal is the O-Arm Imaging System, which helps ensure precision and effectiveness during surgical procedures.
Understanding the O-Arm Imaging System
The O-Arm Surgical Imaging System is a transformative tool that produces detailed 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional images. By delivering high-quality images during surgeries, the O-Arm provides our surgeons with critical information needed for informed decision-making in real-time. This imaging system works in conjunction with the StealthStation™ Surgical Navigation System, resulting in improved visualization and navigation capabilities in the operating room.
Utilization of the O-Arm Imaging System
GNS Surgery Center uses the O-Arm Surgical Imaging System, which combines traditional C-arm imaging features with intra-operative 3D imaging and navigation. This technology allows for a comprehensive view of the surgical area, enhancing the accuracy of spine surgeries and giving our surgeons a clearer understanding of the anatomy involved.
Data for Informed Surgical Decisions
The combination of intra-operative imaging and surgical navigation equips our surgeons to carry out precise surgical interventions. By providing essential information at every step of the procedure, the O-Arm System may help lower the likelihood of complications, potentially reducing the need for subsequent surgeries. This level of precision adds an essential aspect of safety and effectiveness to the procedures we perform.
Providing Quality Care
The integration of the StealthStation™ and O-Arm™ solution at GNS Surgery Center improves our ability to perform minimally invasive procedures. For our patients, this can mean smaller incisions, faster recovery times, and enhanced surgical outcomes. By using these innovative technologies, we strive to create a patient experience that prioritizes safety, comfort, and satisfaction.
