The Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital (RNOH), Great Britain’s largest specialist orthopedic center, has installed a fully integrated Brainlab surgical suite, marking a significant milestone in spinal surgery innovation. The ecosystem comprises Loop-X® mobile imaging robot, Curve® Navigation, Spine & Trauma Navigation, Spine Mixed Reality Navigation* and Digital O.R. environment—a first for orthopedic surgery in London. This combination addresses accuracy at every step of surgery, reduces complexity and enables incremental improvements that collectively enhance patient outcomes. 

RNOH Clinical Director, Julian Leong: “This is now the flagship Brainlab theatre suite in Europe. It represents a significant step forward in how we deliver complex spinal surgery in this country, bringing together surgical expertise, navigation technology, and innovation at the highest level."**

Nils Ehrke, EMEA President at Brainlab, added: “We are incredibly proud to celebrate this milestone installation at the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital. The integration of this Brainlab ecosystem into clinical practice is a testament to the paradigm shift taking place in spinal surgery."
