Hybrid Operating Room (OR)
$3 Million Commitment
A new Hybrid Operating Room at Royal Inland Hospital combines advanced imaging
with a full surgical suite, enabling both minimally invasive and open procedures in vascular surgery and other complex specialties.
This cutting-edge facility expands access to complex surgeries, enhances precision, improves patient outcomes, and reduces recovery times through minimally invasive techniques. It strengthens emergency response capabilities, allows for more efficient and coordinated care, and supports innovative procedures that weren’t previously possible.
Additionally, offering a Hybrid OR helps attract and retain top physicians such as vascular and neurosurgeons, ensuring our community has
access to the highest level of specialized care and expertise.
“A Hybrid Operating Room System stands as the ideal choice for our hospital’s Vascular Surgery Department. Its advanced imaging, procedural adaptability, workflow efficiency, radiation dose control, precision, and long-term value make it an indispensable asset in elevating the quality of vascular care we provide to our patients.” – Dr. Jeffrey Grab, MD, RIH Vascular Surgery
“The addition of a Hybrid OR to RIH will transform neuro-interventionalists’ ability to perform endovascular procedures to treat blood vessel diseases affecting the brain and spinal cord. By eliminating the need for open surgery, the risk of infection and concerns around wound healing are dramatically reduced with patients often being discharged from hospital earlier, giving them the best chance at recovery. This will greatly benefit patients suffering from conditions such as strokes, aneurysms, blockages, and so much more. With this equipment, we are able to bring life-saving procedures never possible before.” – Dr. Hubert Lee, MD, RIH Neurosurgery
