Perspectives on surgical navigation, digital operating rooms, spine and neurosurgery, regenerative medicine, and the wider GCC medical technology landscape.
VisualizationThe field separated 3D planning review, which is ready now, from live overlay on the patient, which is not. What that means for a hospital deciding where to spend.
Regenerative MedicineA collagen scaffold implanted alongside lymph node transfer to guide lymphatic repair. What the published evidence supports today, and what is still being tested.
OncologyThermal-surface and stereoscopic X-ray tracking working together to keep radiotherapy patients aligned with the plan, from setup to the last fraction.
Digital ORModern imaging and navigation cut radiation for the surgical team. How Loop-X and a dose-aware workflow change what the OR absorbs.
MicrosurgeryCrownJun built a PEEK micro vessel clamp to hold like metal without reprocessing. Where disposable earns its place in microsurgery, and where it does not.
Digital ORBrainlab Cloud Services replaces the CD in an envelope with secure sharing, so tumor boards decide faster without moving the patient.
Spine SurgeryBrainlab Cirq aligns the instrument to the planned trajectory while the surgeon keeps the drill. Expectations versus what the evidence supports.
NeurosurgeryNexstim navigated TMS maps language cortex non-invasively, giving neurosurgeons a plan to protect speech before resection.
OrthopedicsMizuho OSI's next-generation platform, with FlexLation knee positioning and Femur Lift for the anterior approach.
Digital PlanningAutomatic segmentation, tumor outlining and trajectory planning, plus the 2026 CE-marked Elements Spine Planning.
OrthopedicsDigital templating on the calibrated X-ray, with a 4,000-implant library and PACS integration.
OrthopedicsTraumaCad templating and the Hana table, from implant plan to confirmed position.
Digital ORFrom isolated devices to one connected surgical workflow, and what it means for procurement.
NavigationWhere navigation genuinely changes the work, and what clinical and procurement teams should look for.
PositioningIn spine and orthopedic surgery, position shapes access, imaging and outcome.
ClinicalA real-time signal that warns the team before nerve damage is done.
RegenerativeCollagen scaffolds that give the body a structure to rebuild itself after surgery.
NeuroKnowing where movement and speech live in each patient changes how a resection is planned.
MicrosurgeryWorking on vessels under a millimeter wide, where the tool must match the hand.
ENTStaying oriented where critical structures sit millimeters apart.
RoboticsHolding a planned trajectory with steadiness no hand can match.
OncologyFocused dose delivered to submillimetric accuracy, often without open surgery.
EcosystemWhy an operating room where everything acts on one plan outperforms many islands.
NavigationThe most important navigation decision is whether the platform stays open to your imaging and implants.
ImagingImaging that registers the patient to navigation automatically, during the case.
VisualizationPatient-specific 3D anatomy that helps the surgeon hold a spatial sense of the plan.
LymphedemaSupermicrosurgery and regenerative scaffolds brought together in one pathway.
OrthopedicsIn anterior-approach hip replacement, the table is part of how the procedure is performed.
ImagingClean imaging is a chain, from the operating table all the way to the implant.
SpineNavigation, positioning, monitoring and implants that work as one system.
OncologySingle-isocenter planning treats several metastases in one optimized session.
