Groundbreaking Brain Surgery Performed at Morocco’s Mohammed VI Hospital Using Advanced 3D Scanner

The first intervention with this technology was successfully performed on a patient with a brain tumor. The intervention team was led by Professor Abdessamad El Azhari, assisted by assistant professors Sidi Mamoun Louraoui, Mounir Rghioui and Fadwa Flyou.

The Airo intraoperative scanner is the first stereotactic imaging system that allows operations to be performed with real-time 3D reconstruction with very low X-ray exposure time. For the moment, this very advanced technology is located in Morocco at the Mohammed VI University Hospital (HUIM6).

In a press release, the hospital management indicated that "through this technology, HUIM6 aspires to strengthen its position as a pioneer in the medical field and continue to actively contribute to improving the quality and safety of operated patients." It also specified that "this scanner is added to the technological arsenal adopted by the hospital since its opening".
