4 Innovations in Surgical Technology that are Improving Patient Care

Surgery is a field rife with innovation. New techniques, new technology, plus new ways of using existing techniques or technology, there’s always something new brewing in regards to advancements in this sector. Developments in optical imaging, robotics, artificial intelligence, IoT, virtual reality, and other high-tech advances contribute to greater precision and less invasive surgical techniques; the field is optimized to improve surgical outcomes by a significant measure in the near future. Here are just a few of the top innovations in surgery currently in use around the country.

  1. A True MARVEL for Brain Surgery
  • The Multi Angle Rear Viewing Endoscopic tooL or MARVEL is an endoscope with a miniscule 3-D camera attached
  • The camera is only four millimeters in diameter and 15 millimeters in length
  • MARVEL is designed for minimally invasive brain surgery
  • The technology emulates other stereo imaging endoscopes that are presently used for minimally invasive surgery in different parts of the body
  • The tool has provided hope that will enable surgeons to perform very intricate and complex surgery in a minimally invasive manner
  1. Smart Surgical Glasses: Making Surgery Smarter
  • Smart glasses have been around since 2012, but their use in the operating room still needs refining
  • These glasses use a “mixed reality method”
  • Researchers hope that Smart Surgical Glasses will soon become a fixed object in orthopedic surgery and other types of surgeries.
  • Smart glasses are essentially small computers, which include a head-mounted screen and video camera, and can be connected to the internet or other computers
