A hybrid operating room is a modern type of medical space that combines advanced diagnostic, imaging, and interventional techniques with a traditional operating room. These types of operating rooms allow surgeons and other healthcare professionals to perform complex and high-risk procedures more safely, quickly, and efficiently.
Hybrid Operating Room Features:
1. Advanced Imaging Systems:
- High-resolution imaging devices such as MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging), CT (Computed Tomography) and angiography are available.
- Surgeons can perform live imaging during the operation, so they can monitor each stage of the procedure more clearly and make quick decisions when necessary.
2. Operation and Imaging Together:
- During traditional surgery, instant imaging can be performed on the operating table and interventions can be made with guiding surgical decisions when necessary.
- It eliminates the need to go to a second room, saves time and increases patient safety.
Advantages of Hybrid Operating Rooms:
- Patient Safety: If any complications occur during the operation, rapid intervention can be performed thanks to current technologies.
- Shorter Intervention: Eliminates the need to go out of the operating room for separate imaging.
- Less Risk: By making smaller incisions with minimally invasive methods, the risk of complications, infection, and recovery time are reduced.
- Versatile Use: The ability of specialists from different disciplines to work together makes complex procedures easier.
As a result, hybrid operating rooms offer a safer and more effective treatment environment for both surgeons and patients. By using advanced technologies together, it increases the quality and success rates in healthcare services.
