ENID, Okla. - Having the right information at the right time and in the right place is critical in today’s operating rooms. That's why INTEGRIS Bass Baptist Health Center has installed the Medtronic O-arm® Intra-operative Imaging System and the StealthStation® Surgical Navigation System.
-
Designed to integrate seamlessly, these advanced imaging and navigation systems enable our surgeons to pre-operatively plan treatment and operate in complex and delicate areas of the spine.
-
The key to these two technologies is the ability to deliver critical information to the surgeon and surgical team during each phase of a patient’s surgery. The technologies potentially allow surgeons to operate with increased accuracy and the ability to perform more complex and minimally invasive spine procedures. It can also help to reduce complications and decrease the likelihood of revisions and radiation exposure for surgeon and staff.

“Intra-operative imaging and surgical navigation are vital tools for the surgical team striving for optimal patient outcomes,” says Phari Krishna, M.D., Neurosurgeon, INTEGRIS Bass Baptist Health Center. “The technology gives surgeons the ability to visualize and track in real time their surgical instruments relative to a patient’s specific anatomy - providing the ability to avoid critical areas of the spine.”
-
The StealthStation® Navigation System allows surgeons to visualize the patient’s anatomy in 3D during surgery and see the precise position of their surgical instrumentation throughout the procedure.
-
INTEGRIS Bass is only the fourth hospital in Oklahoma to add this technology to the operating room.
-
Krishna is using these integrated technologies at INTEGRIS Bass for treatment planning and surgery for:
* Intra-operative placement verification of spinal screws and deep-brain electrodes
* 3D modeling of the patient pathology
* high-powered surgical drilling and sawing
* RF-based cutting and sealing
* CSF management
