A [Hybrid Operating Room]One of the key advantages of a Hybrid OR is the ability to conduct precise diagnostics and immediate treatment simultaneously. Surgeons can verify device placement, assess blood flow, or check anatomical changes during the procedure without delays. This reduces surgical time, lowers the risk of complications, and minimizes the need for repeat surgeries. Hybrid ORs are particularly important for procedures like endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR), transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), and hybrid coronary revascularization, where imaging guidance is essential.



From a patient safety perspective, Hybrid ORs support less invasive approaches, leading to shorter hospital stays, faster recovery, and better clinical outcomes. They also enhance multidisciplinary collaboration by enabling various specialists to work together in one high-tech environment. Although establishing a Hybrid OR requires significant investment and infrastructure, the long-term benefits—improved workflow efficiency, reduced surgical risks, and superior patient care—make it a critical component of modern surgical practice. (Hybrid OR) is an advanced surgical environment that integrates a fully equipped operating theater with high-end medical imaging technologies such as fluoroscopy, CT, MRI, and 3D imaging systems. This combination allows surgeons, interventional radiologists, and cardiologists to perform open, minimally invasive, and image-guided procedures within the same space—eliminating the need to transfer patients between different departments. The presence of real-time imaging significantly enhances procedural accuracy, especially in complex cardiovascular, neurovascular, orthopedic, and trauma surgeries.
