Operating Room of the Future

Surgeons, hospital leaders, and trustees tour the newly built Leona M. and Harry B. Helmsley Surgical Suite at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center in New York City.

The Suite consists of four operating rooms housing futuristic surgical, endoscopic and imaging technology including the Artis zeego angiography C-arm system developed by Siemens Healthcare and recently approved for use in the United States. The C-arm can rotate completely around an operating table scanning a patient from all angles, and offering surgeons detailed imaging to guide them in their procedure.

The Suite was established through a gift from The Leona M. and Harry B. Helmsley Charitable Trust.

Thanks for your comment. I'm sorry, but I don't know when this robotic device will be available in Germany (perhaps, it already is). You would have to ask the manufacturer.
