Southcentral Kentucky’s first hybrid OR
The Medical Center at Bowling Green’s Hybrid OR is now in use. This new surgery suite combines an operating room with state-of-the-art imaging equipment, including an ARTIS pheno robotic imaging system by Siemens. With this system, patients can undergo both endovascular and open surgical procedures in the same setting. The floor-mounted robotic C-arm system allows for individualized preprocedural planning, intraoperative guidance, and immediate checkup — regardless of patient condition or procedure complexity. The hybrid OR is used primarily for heart and vascular patients.
