September 5, 2024 – Broward Health Medical Center is taking neurosurgery to the next level with the addition of Medtronic’s cutting-edge StealthStation™8 technology. This advanced system allows surgeons to perform even more precise and minimally invasive procedures, leading to better outcomes for patients.
This state-of-the-art surgical navigation system is designed to help neurosurgeons perform brain and spine surgery by visualizing a patient’s anatomy, guiding instruments in the body and placing implants with precision.

The StealthStation™8 navigation system helps allow for tailored procedures based on unique patient anatomy and provides real-time visualization throughout the surgery. Through its minimally invasive techniques, patients can experience smaller incisions, leading to reduced blood loss and often a shorter hospital stay.
“This advanced technology should not only enhance our ability to perform complex procedures with greater accuracy, but also improve patient outcomes by potentially reducing recovery times and hospital stays,” said John Cain, M.D., neurosurgeon at Broward Health.
