In the last couple of years, as technology develops in all fields, we also note progress in medicine. The development of technology in medicine greatly helps the medical staff to do their work for patients as precisely, easily and efficiently as possible. At SKB Mostar, we have the pleasure of working with modern technology, of which I would like to single out:
- Kinevo 900 microscope.
- Brainlab Curve navigation.
- Ultrasound bk5000.
- Neuromonitoring.
1. On the microscope, we have the option of audio and video recordings. In addition, we have the functions of recording angiography in brain blood vessel operations, and blue and yellow light, which in combination with contrast provides coloring of tumor formation in the brain.
2. Navigation is a combination of physics, mathematics and computer science. Using navigation, we determine the exact localization of the tumor formation. In addition to localization, it gives us information about how much tumor mass we have removed, and helps us not to damage some centers during the operation. I would single out adaptive hybrid surgery as one of the special possibilities of navigation.
3. Ultrasound bk 5000 has 3 neurosurgical probes that show us the actual (current) condition of the operative field. With the help of ultrasound, we can do a biopsy of the process on the brain, which enables a faster intervention and faster recovery.
4. Neuromonitoring serves us to monitor the evoked potentials, with which we monitor the motor and sensory during the operation.
5. Brainlab loop X is an intraoperative CT device that enables 2D and 3D image display. We use it in spine surgery.

This technology enabled us to perform complex procedures, as well as faster and more precise procedures. The future brings us new challenges, but with development and good education, we will try to overcome them successfully.
