surgical navigation

Surgical navigation is a technology used during operations to enhance precision and safety. It combines advanced imaging techniques, like CT or MRI scans, with real-time tracking systems to create a detailed map of a patient’s anatomy. Surgeons use this system to guide their instruments accurately within the body, minimizing damage to healthy tissues and improving outcomes. This approach is particularly beneficial in complex surgeries, like those involving the brain or spine, allowing for more effective treatment while reducing recovery time and complications. It represents a significant advancement in surgical techniques and patient care.
