What is a Hybrid Operating Room?

A Hybrid OR combines the tools used in a standard operating room with innovative medical imaging technology. This allows surgeons to accommodate a wider range of procedures. It is designed to improve patient experiences and outcomes while reducing surgical time and length of stay.

Our Hybrid OR uses devices such as C-arms, CT scanners, and MRI scanners to provide a virtually unprecedented level of accuracy for open surgeries and minimally invasive procedures alike. Our talented team of surgeons can operate with more precision than ever before.

What surgeries are performed using a hybrid approach?
