About Hybrid Operating Rooms
In the past two decades, Hybrid Operating Rooms have emerged as the new standard of care for cardiovascular minimally invasive surgeries, and they are now being considered for many other specialties in the hospital. The minimally invasive approach allows patients typically to experience a shorter recovery time following a procedure in a Hybrid OR. Additionally, patients typically have a shorter length of stay at the hospital because they didn’t have a traditional open surgical procedure.
