[Preliminary Experience of a Biplane Flat Panel and Tailor-made Operating Table-equipped Hybrid Operating Room].

A hybrid operating room(Hybrid OR), where operative equipment and flat panel angiography are both available, is becoming common for complex cerebrovascular surgery. However, the current Hybrid OR remains suboptimal as it is not cost-effective and contains uncomfortable operating beds, and a single-plane flat panel. Therefore, we introduced a novel Hybrid OR system, which has a biplane flat panel detector and three mutually exchangeable tailor-made operating beds. In this article, we report our preliminary experience of this novel Hybrid OR, focusing on improved cost-effectiveness by the availability of diagnostic angiography and standard endovascular surgery, optimal selection of three different types of operating beds, and procedural workflow in individual hybrid cerebrovascular surgery.
