In a major step forward to elevate the standards of surgical interventions, Manipal Hospital Varthur Road has introduced the high-end NEURO ZEISS TIVATO 700 Microscope, equipped with cutting-edge 4K 3D visualization and immunoFluorescence technology. This advanced system significantly improves surgical precision in a wide spectrum of microsurgeries across ENT, neurosurgery, and plastic & reconstructive surgery.
The ZEISS TIVATO 700 represents the next generation in surgical microscopy with its powerful features including 4K 3D visualization, robotic-assisted positioning, fluorescence imaging for intraoperative guidance, and real-time digital documentation. These features not only better surgical results but also improve ergonomics and workflow efficiency for surgeons. Most importantly, these advancements lead to shorter surgeries, reduced complications, and quicker post-operative recovery, resulting in an overall enhanced experience and improved outcomes for patients.
Speaking about the value of this advancement in ENT care, Dr. Debasish Datta Majumder, Consultant – ENT, said, “Microsurgery is a crucial component of modern ENT practice (Otolaryngology) – it allows us for precise interventions in delicate anatomical areas. With this new addition, it has now enabled us to perform complex ENT procedures – otologic (ear), laryngeal, and skull base surgeries, with remarkable precision while minimizing tissue trauma. This technology is particularly beneficial in Tympanoplasty and Mastoidectomy, Grommet insertion Stapedectomy, Cochlear implantation, Vocal cord surgeries, CSF leak repair, Lateral skull base tumors, and more.”
The microscope also holds immense value in reconstructive surgery. Dr. Karthik Shrinivas Tallam, Senior Consultant – Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, highlighting its crucial role in complex reconstructive and replantation surgeries, noted, “Microscope is essential for reattaching severed body parts, requiring precise microsurgical techniques for reconnecting nerves and blood vessels. It is also useful in surgeries like hand transplants and free tissue transfers in trauma and cancer reconstructions, enabling doctors to perform advanced complex surgeries.”
In the field of neurosurgery, Dr. Abdul Aziz Riyaz, Consultant – Neurosurgery, expressed, “The TIVATO 700, with its 4K visualization and fluorescence guidance, enhances our ability to differentiate tumor tissues, visualize critical vascular structures, and perform complex surgeries like tumor resections, aneurysm clippings, and pediatric neurosurgeries with higher confidence and accuracy. It ultimately translates into better clinical outcomes and safer procedures for our patients.”
With the integration of such advanced surgical technology, Manipal Hospital Varthur Road reinforces its commitment to delivering state-of-the-art, patient-centric healthcare. The installation of the ZEISS TIVATO 700 marks a transformative step in ensuring surgical precision, improved outcomes, and quicker recoveries across specialties.
