The 3D exoscope helps surgeons view and deal with brain tumours. It provides “exceptional” image quality, powerful illumination and enhanced depth perception.
Roddy O’Kane, consultant neurosurgeon at NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde, said: “Traditionally, neurosurgery meant working for hours with your eyes fixed to microscope eyepieces.
“This technology allows us to operate upright while gaining views and angles that simply aren’t possible with conventional microscopes.
“For children undergoing brain surgery, that enhanced visualisation can make a real difference.
“The ability to see more clearly and reach more effectively supports safer surgery and, ultimately, better outcomes.”
Emer Campbell, clinical lead and consultant neurosurgeon at the health board, said: “We’re delighted to have this technology in place.
“Beyond the clear benefits for our patients, we’re already seeing how it enhances teamwork, workflow and training in theatre.”
