Among them is the Pro Axis Table, an operating table that relies on robotics to ensure smoother and more precise movement. The table can bend upward or downward as opposed to most surgery tables that can only bend down. The motion can be triggered without dislodging the patient from their position, thus minimizing injury. The Pro Axis Table is one of the most technologically sophisticated items of equipment in the world and Eka Hospital is the first hospital in Indonesia to obtain it.

“During spinal surgery, access and visibility are drastically limited by the positioning of a patient. Reducing the difficulty and possibility of bleeding helps patients recover faster while minimizing their surgical wounds. The [Pro Axis] operating table, with its robotic system can position patients more precisely and can be used during operations,” said Luthfi Gatam, chairman of Gatam Institute Eka Hospital Orthopedic & Spine Center.

The hospital also has an O-arm machine that cannot be found in any other hospital in Indonesia. The O-arm is a mobile piece of equipment that is very similar to a CT scan, equipped with GPS that increases the machine’s navigation. The O-arm is used in a similar manner to CT scans without the patients having to lie down throughout the operation.

Another addition to Eka Hospital’s medical equipment is the C-arm 3D, an X-ray machine that can produce images of the patient from various angles from the side, front, back, top, bottom and even 3D reconstruction that can be immediately viewed in the operating room.

“One of the goals of operating on spinal abnormalities is to achieve balance for the patient’s body that can only be determined after the operation is finished. However, with the new equipment, doctors can easily determine the patient’s balance during the procedure. So far there has been no other equipment that can produce images like the O-arm,” Lutfi explained in a press conference.

Meanwhile, chief operating officer of Eka Hospital Group, Rina Setiawati added that Eka Hospital is committed to bringing the latest technologies to aid experts at the Gatam Institute during surgery.

“The collaboration between technology and the presence of highly sophisticated equipment along with the expertise of the doctors at Gatam Institute Eka Hospital is expected to bring spinal surgery in Indonesia to a new era. Certainly, we are also exceptional when it comes to medical development compared with the world at large. We never tire in stating that Gatam Institute's orthopedic services are present throughout our hospital network in BSD City, Cibubur, Bekasi and Pekanbaru," she said

Eka Hospital is a leader in world-class technology with its navigational robot for spinal surgery, the first and only one in Indonesia and Southeast Asia. With the use of the robots, the accuracy in implant placements amounts to 99.9 percent. The robot also allows procedures to be carried out with minimal incisions, tissue injury or risk of bleeding. It also shortens operating times and guarantees faster patient recovery.

Eka Hospital continues to introduce various innovations to improve its services especially in spinal treatment, greatly improving the development of spinal surgery in Indonesia.
