The Neurosurgery Service of the Area 2 Hospital in Ciudad del Este received a ZEISS KINEVO-900 surgical microscope from the Tesãi Foundation, which will have a new perspective for viewing high-resolution 4K images, increasing the ability to resolve pathologies of High complexity.According to the specialists, this modern equipment will allow the approach of serious pathologies in cranial surgery (aneurysms or removal of brain tumors and at the base of the skull), as well as interventions in the spine, offering greater precision to the neurosurgeon in treatments unlike traditional optical focus.This high-definition visual quality system, the doctors said, will help them in the most complex vascular procedures.For example, with the INFRARED 800, FLOW® 800 from ZEISS will be able to identify in greater detail the blood flow of the intracerebral vessels, allowing real-time intraoperative video angiogram to be performed during any vascular procedure and to analyze the dynamics of blood flow.Similarly, with the ZEISS YELLOW technique, it will be possible to visualize tumor tissues or see fluorescence-stained structures while observing the anatomy in natural colors through the 4K video camera, helping to identify intracerebral lesions and tumors.The robotics controlled by the surgeon will perform an automatic positioning in predefined anatomical reference points, based on a planning of preoperative data at the moment in which it is necessary to access cavities that are difficult to access.By enhancing optical and digital vision, surgeons can make the best clinical decisions in real time and at the right time, facilitating the flow of surgical work with a system that is fully synchronized with operating room navigation instruments.In case of tumor with identification of affected areas, they can be visualized again through its Position Memory system with exactly the same magnification, working distance and focus, without wasting time with manual repositioning.With its unique Qevo system, which is an endoscope coupled to a microscope, the micro inspection tool is complemented by intraoperative surgical visualization, being able to explore corners and eliminate blind spots in the deepest intervention areas, the specialists pointed out.This acquisition represents a gigantic step in technological innovation that underpins the growth of the Tesãi Foundation for the benefit of its policyholders, beneficiaries, users and citizens in general.
