This new surgical microscope incorporates a range of functionalities that facilitate intelligent positioning by the surgeon, reduce manual movements and allow better visualisation of the area of the brain being operated on. What is more, with this technology come shorter recovery times and better prognoses for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnaclinic.com\/en\/neurosurgery\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>neurosurgery<\/strong><\/a> patients.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Which procedures will the robotic visualisation platform be used for?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The new robotic microsurgery platform has been acquired thanks to a donation from barnacl\u00ednic+ to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hospitalclinic.org\/en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Hospital Cl\u00ednic de Barcelona<\/a>. It will be used in various neurosurgical procedures, such as vascular\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnaclinic.com\/en\/neurosurgery\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>neurosurgery<\/strong><\/a>, neuro-oncology and complex skull base and spinal column conditions. The platform&#8217;s visualisation technology is also indicated for use in other surgical specialties.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>What advantages does it offer the surgeon and patients?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>In\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnaclinic.com\/en\/neurosurgery\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>neurosurgery<\/strong><\/a> operations, the surgical field is extremely small. For this reason, technological aids like the new platform, that help with planning, visualisation and navigation during the surgery, are very important. Moreover, for the patient, performing complex procedures in a minimally invasive way leads to better outcomes and faster recovery times.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>What improvements does the new visualisation platform offer?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zeiss.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Zeiss\u00ae<\/a> surgical microscope incorporates improvements in fluorescence observation. This technology enables the surgeon to distinguish between veins and arteries, visualise tumours and see blood vessels in great detail. The most remarkable feature and improvement offered by this visualisation platform is its robotic system. Controlled by the surgeon, it enables intelligent positioning and reduces manual movements. Dr <a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnaclinic.com\/en\/professionals\/36\/joaquim\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Joaquim Ense\u00f1at<\/strong><\/a>, from the <strong>barnacl\u00ednic+ <a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnaclinic.com\/en\/neurosurgery\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">neurosurgery<\/a><\/strong> department, explains how the robotic movement of the surgical microscope works. &#8220;<em>If we take a photo of an area we are working on and after a while we need to go back to it, just by pressing the image, the microscope goes back to the exact same position<\/em>&#8220;.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h4>The most remarkable feature and improvement offered by this visualisation platform is its robotic system\u00a0that enables intelligent positioning and reduces manual movements<\/h4>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2><strong>The perfect complement for neuronavigation technology<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The new robotic platform will be installed in the neurosurgery theatre, which since 2015 has been equipped with neuronavigation technology. The neuronavigator is a system that allows the surgery to be planned in advance, three-dimensional images of the brain to be taken while operating, and the lesion or area being operated on to be located at all times. By integrating these two platforms, the neurosurgery department will have access to the latest and best technology in surgical planning, visualisation and monitoring. Dr Ense\u00f1at highlights the possibilities it offers and the benefit to patients: &#8220;<em>Having access to this technology in theatre enables us to perform minimally invasive surgeries and optimise procedure times and accuracy, which without doubt means a huge benefit for our patients<\/em>&#8220;, concludes Dr Ense\u00f1at.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h4><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-1060\" src=\"http:\/\/www.barnaclinic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Captura-de-pantalla-2018-07-09-a-las-13.02.13.png\" alt=\"Joaquim Ense\u00f1at\" width=\"90\" height=\"90\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.barnaclinic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Captura-de-pantalla-2018-07-09-a-las-13.02.13.png 354w, https:\/\/www.barnaclinic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Captura-de-pantalla-2018-07-09-a-las-13.02.13-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.barnaclinic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Captura-de-pantalla-2018-07-09-a-las-13.02.13-300x300.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 90px) 100vw, 90px\" \/>&#8220;Having access to this technology in theatre enables us to perform minimally invasive surgeries and optimise procedure times and accuracy, which without doubt means a huge benefit for our patients&#8221;<\/h4>\n<p>Dr. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnaclinic.com\/en\/professionals\/36\/joaquim\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Joaquim Ense\u00f1at<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<hr \/>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnaclinic.com\/en\/solicitar-cita\/?especialidad=24\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1076 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/www.barnaclinic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/talk-with-neurosurgery-1024x152.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"152\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.barnaclinic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/talk-with-neurosurgery-1024x152.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.barnaclinic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/talk-with-neurosurgery-300x45.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.barnaclinic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/talk-with-neurosurgery.jpg 1468w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thanks to a donation from barnacl\u00ednic+, the Hospital Cl\u00ednic Group has become the first centre in Catalonia and one of the first in Spain to benefit from a new state-of-the-art robotic visualisation platform.
