MARYVILLE – Anderson Hospital Surgical Services is proud to announce the successful completion of its first surgical procedure using the advanced 7D FLASH™ Navigation System—a cutting-edge technology that enhances surgical precision and elevates patient care. The procedure was performed by Dr. Brendan Fong, a neurosurgeon with Neurosurgery of St. Louis and a member of Anderson Medical Group. Dr. Fong and his colleagues see patients at their Maryville office, conveniently located on the Anderson Hospital campus.
As the only image-guided system on the market to combine novel, proprietary camera-based technology with machine-vision algorithms, the 7D FLASH Navigation System contributes to faster, more efficient spinal procedures while decreasing radiation exposure. In seconds, a flash of radiation-free visible light projects a 2D pattern onto the patient, providing nearly 1,000,000 data points and automatically generating a 3D image for surgical navigation.
“Intraoperative navigation transforms spinal surgery by turning precision into predictability, enhancing patient safety while empowering surgeons with real-time anatomical clarity, said Dr. Fong.”
The 7D FLASH Navigation System offers a robust menu of procedural capabilities tailored toward open and minimally invasive spine procedures as well as cranial operations. Visit Orthofix.com to learn more about the system and its technologies.
