Operating Room Complex

The Neuro Spinal Hospital has 3 operating theatres especially designed and equipped for the most complex neurosurgical and spinal procedures. Outstanding features which are more specific to our Operating theatre complex include 2 Neuro and Spinal Navigation systems, Intraoperative MRI, 2 operative high tech digital microscopes, CUSA which is used for tumour removal without traumatizing normal brain tissue, stereotaxy frame based and frameless for the treatment of deep brain tumours and Parkinson disease. All this technology is supported by the intra operative monitoring to optimize the safety of the patient.

Brain Suite: The operating theatre of tomorrow is here today. The Brain Suite is a complete work flow optimized neurosurgical operating room that integrates image guided surgery, Intra-operative, top of the range 1.5 Tesla functional MRI, surgical microscopes and data management technology. Together these systems help to minimize surgical complications to the patient by allowing the surgeon to perform surgery with highly precise computerized guidance, better visualization of vital functional structures and greater accuracy. This Brain Suite is the second set up of its kind and one of four existing systems worldwide. The best healthcare is available for you here in the UAE

Spinal Suite: The Spinal Suite is equipped with state of the art spinal navigation system and face to face Zeiss surgical microscope which allow more precise and less invasive spinal surgery, reducing the need for frequent X-ray exposures and increasing the safety of the patient. The system is used for procedures such as spinal fixation for degenerative instability and fractures, scoliosis, minimally invasive microsurgical discectomies, spinal tumours and other diseases relating to the spine.

Stereotactic & Functional Neurosurgery: To perform functional neurosurgeries with submillimeter accuracy for brain biopsy and conditions like Parkinson’s disease and brachytherapy. The computer-planned procedures allow the surgeon to access the deepest areas of the brain without any risk or damage to the vasculature or brain structures.

Surgical Microscopes: Two of the most sophisticated surgical microscopes allowing the minimally-invasive microsurgical techniques are integrated to the imaging-guided system (Navigation System) which guide the surgeon through the procedure.

Intra-operative Monitoring: During brain and spinal surgery Neurophysiological monitoring of the brain, spinal cord and nerves function is observed in real time to alert the surgeon of any crucial effects to the nervous system. This offers the patient extra protection and security during surgery.

Recovery Room: With three beds specially designed for neurosurgical and spinal surgical cases.
