Precision Redefined: Medanta Lucknow Launches City’s First O-Arm Suite for Robotic-Grade Spine Surgery

Lucknow: In a transformative leap for neurosurgical care in Uttar Pradesh, Medanta Lucknow has unveiled the city’s first O-Arm Spine Suite. This state-of-the-art intraoperative imaging and navigation system acts as a "GPS for the human spine," allowing surgeons to perform complex procedures with unprecedented real-time accuracy.

Real-Time 3D Navigation Traditional surgeries often rely on pre-operative scans, but the O-Arm technology brings high-resolution 2D and 3D imaging directly into the operating theater. Dr. Rakesh Kapoor, Medical Director at Medanta, emphasized that this launch aligns with the hospital's mission to provide globally benchmarked technology to the people of Uttar Pradesh, ensuring higher surgical safety and superior outcomes.

Clinical Benefits: Faster Recovery, Less Pain The medical leadership at Medanta highlighted several key advantages of the new system:

Enhanced Safety: Dr. Ravi Shankar (Director, Neurosurgery) noted that the continuous navigation support allows surgeons to operate in delicate, high-risk anatomical regions with total confidence.

Minimally Invasive: Dr. Kamlesh Singh Bhaisora (Director, Neurosurgery) explained that real-time imaging leads to smaller incisions, significantly reducing blood loss and operative time.

Rapid Discharge: For orthopedic patients, Dr. Swetabh Verma (Associate Director, Orthopaedics and Spine) stated that precise implant placement results in minimal tissue damage, allowing patients to be discharged in as little as two to three days.

The O-Arm suite not only streamlines surgical workflows but also reduces radiation exposure for both patients and staff. This advancement sets a new clinical benchmark for spine care in the region, offering a lifeline to those requiring complex cranial and spinal interventions.
