OR-X: Translational Center for Surgery

Balgrist University Hospital informs about the construction of the translational center for research and education «OR-X». Its centerpiece is a simulation operation room. According to Philipp Fürnstahl, Professor of Orthopedic Computer Science, the success of the HMZ Flagship Project SURGENT was instrumental in this decision: "The SURGENT project has shown the importance of translational research by transferring technologies from research prototypes to clinical trials."

SURGENT: First holographically navigated spine surgery worldwide

HMZ congratulates the team on this breakthrough, which was made possible thanks to their innovative and highly interdisciplinary approach.

SURGENT

SURGENT (Surgeon Enhancing Technologies) aims to establish new standards of patient specific planning and execution of precision spinal and neurosurgery.
This highly interdisciplinary project stands at the cross-roads of surgery, biomedical imaging, computer sciences and Engineering. It will converge all these fields for development, integration, optimization, and clinical validation of state-of-the-art technologies for surgical skill augmentation and embed these tools within efficient and economical clinical workflows for the benefit of the patient.

SURGENT has been a HMZ Flagship Project since 2018.
