GLM Highlight in Health – Hybrid Operating Rooms

Hybrid Operating Rooms was chosen to be honored as one of our GLM Highlights in Health. The transformation of healthcare is truly upon us in which Hybrid Operating Rooms are at the cutting edge. This space is called “a surgical theatre” because it is equipped with advanced medical imaging devices such as CT and or MRI scanners. These imaging devices enable minimally-invasive surgery leading to a less traumatic experience for the patient. This environment allows surgeons not need to cut the patient open completely in order to access the body part in which surgery is to be performed upon. Alternative surgical techniques can be utilized while visualizing smaller body parts such as really thin vessels in the heart muscle and can be facilitated through intraoperative 3D imaging. Technologies used in hybrid operating rooms have typically helped reduce trauma, scarring, spurred faster rehabilitation and has helped decrease hospital stays. Our GLM team salutes this innovation as revolutionizing the future of Healthcare technology.
