Share

Pulse™️, the first and only system in Greece with an integrated platform for intraoperative navigation, neuromonitoring, (low-ray) radiation minimization, and a study and deformity correction system, marks a new era in spine surgery at IASO General Clinic in Athens.

Georgios Vastardis, MD, PhD, Clinical Director of Endoscopic and Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery, performed the first surgeries using Pulse™️ with complete success for the first time in Greece.

The Pulse™️ platform can be used in a wide range of spine surgery cases and ensures greater precision, shorter operative time and many other advantages by incorporating tools for:

• radiation reduction
• imaging enhancement
• intraoperative navigation and neuromonitoring
• rod shaping so that the optimal desired result is achieved during spinal fusion
• analysis and study of the spine

All this is in a single application in the operating room.

It allows the surgeon to intervene in more complex spinal deformities with greater safety. In the long term, it yields better results, and intraoperatively, it is studied, and a better spine correction is achieved.

The Clinic for Endoscopic & Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery, with the excellent scientific training of Dr. Georgios Vastardis, MD, PhD, in minimally invasive techniques, has been certified in endoscopic surgery by Elliquence and is a certified Center of Excellence in the field.

At IASO General Clinic, comprehensive health services are provided using the most modern methods of diagnosis and treatment. With experienced doctors of all specialities, innovative medical technology equipment, and modern facilities, IASO General Clinic is the top choice for all.
