Among the advanced care services offered by Self Regional are:
Spine Surgery Center
Self Regional Healthcare’s top-ranked spine surgery program has become the first in the Southeast to utilize the most advanced surgical imaging technology available. Surgeons at Self Regional now treat patients with various spinal problems in the medical center’s new advanced surgical operating room—BrainSUITE iCT. Self Regional is the first in the Southeast and only the fourth facility in the nation to use this new space-age technology, which allows surgeons to view images during surgery, not only of the brain but also of the neck and back, where surgical precision is critical.
“Having the ability to check one’s work during surgery is critical,” said Dr. Michael Kilburn, a neurosurgeon with Carolina Neurosurgery and Spine Center. He, along with fellow neurosurgeons Dr. Sumeer Lal and Dr. Gregory McLoughlin, will be using the advanced technology in their practice, which has been ranked in the top five percent in the United States by HealthGrades, the leading independent healthcare ratings organization for the past two years.
BrainSUITE iCT is a digitally integrated operating room (OR) solution that combines VectorVision® sky surgical navigation with a multi-slice intra-operative computed tomography scanner (iCT) and comprehensive OR data management. The CT travels on rails over the OR table, providing high-quality intra-operative scanning without waking the patient from anesthesia. The introduction of the iCT BrainSUITE, along with the new South Carolina Spine Center and its comprehensive patient services, is expected to enhance and expand spine care at Self Regional Healthcare, which treats patients across the state and Southeast region.
