Medtronic StealthStation S8 Surgical Navigation System

The StealthStation S8 neuronavigation system by Medtronic offers comprehensive solutions for the surgical treatment of conditions of the central nervous system, head and spine, offering maximum safety and intraoperative accuracy.
The new equipment can be used for minimally invasive surgery in cases of specialized neurosurgical, orthopedic, ENT and maxillofacial procedures. Its visual and electromagnetic navigation system makes it the ideal choice for performing even the finest surgical procedures on all patients.

The main applications in Neurosurgery involve removal of brain and spinal cord tumors, biopsies and catheter placements, as well as functional neurosurgery. It also offers the option of easy interconnection to external devices (e.g. ultrasound, CT or MRI system, microscope, etc.) and permits preoperative planning of the procedure and postoperative data storage. The real-time 3D imaging of the internal body organs during surgery maximizes the accuracy of identifying lesions and renders the procedure more effective.

The state-of-the-art neuronavigation system reduces:

• The duration of the procedure
• The surgical incisions
• The length of hospital stay
• The likelihood of revision surgery
• The exposure to ionizing radiation
• The risks for the patient
