Providence Hospital Offers New O-Arm System

Ascension Providence recently announced that it is among the first facilities in Mobile to offer the O-arm system with StealthStation navigation, which gives surgeons real-time 3D images during surgery. The system can be used in a variety of procedures, including spine, brain and orthopedic cases. O-arm combines low-dose X-ray imaging and fast image processing to provide live 3D navigation during surgery. It enables the surgeon to obtain highly detailed images of the surgical site in seconds without moving the patient. This can result in more accurate placement of spinal hardware, often with smaller incisions, shorter surgical time, less pain and faster recovery.
