Novarad Announces Successful Use of AR Technology During Bilateral Hip Fusion
The surgery occurred at Tangerang Hospital in Indonesia.
Novarad, a medical technology company, announced the success of a bilateral sacroiliac (SI) joint fusion surgery performed by Dr. Harmantya at Tangerang Hospital, an EMC Hospital, in Indonesia. The procedure, utilizing Novarad's cutting-edge VisAR augmented reality surgical navigation system, marks a significant milestone in healthcare technology adoption and showcases the hospital's commitment to delivering advanced and innovative patient care.
The bilateral SI joint fusion surgery, a complex and intricate procedure, was performed with precision and accuracy using VisAR. Dr. Harmantya, renowned for his expertise in spinal orthopedics, leveraged augmented reality technology to enhance visualization and navigation during the operation. The VisAR system projected a highly accurate 3D hologram of the patient's anatomy on the patient during surgery, along with a planned target for each piece of hardware. VisAR provided real-time guidance and enabling Dr. Harmantya to precisely place the implants required for the fusion procedure.
