Answering Your Questions About Surgery With Synaptive Technology

When surgery is the best next step in your neurological care plan, rest assured that we’ll answer all your questions about which technologies we’ll use to improve your care and what to expect before and after your operation. Get started by reading through our answers to a few commonly asked questions about surgery with Synaptive technology and connect with your care team to go over any other specifics.

  • Who may be a candidate for brain surgery with Synaptive technology?

    Typically, people who may be good candidates for this kind of surgery are those who need:

    • Advanced care for drug-resistant epilepsy
    • Partial or full removal of a brain tumor
    • Surgical care for vascular and structural conditions, like aneurysms and blood clots in the brain

    Because each person’s care plan varies based on numerous factors, talk with your healthcare team to determine whether you’re a candidate for brain surgery with Synaptive technology.

  • What types of brain conditions can be treated using Synaptive technology?

    Surgeons use the Synaptive Modus Plan system to treat a variety of brain conditions, including but not limited to:

    • Artery diseases: Surgeons can use the Modus Plan to perform arterial bypass procedures.
    • Brain tumors: Surgeons can resect (remove all or part of) a tumor with this technology.
    • Epilepsy: Surgeons may use Synaptive technology to treat severe seizures.
    • Vascular and structural conditions: Surgeons can use this surgical technology to treat aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) and blood clots in the brain (intracerebral hemorrhage).

  • Which imaging scans are needed before surgery with Synaptive technology?

    Before surgery, patients will likely need structural and functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans — and potentially a computed tomography (CT) scan, too — to assist with surgical planning. The results of these imaging tests help the Synaptive Modus Plan system create a 3D model of the patient’s brain before surgery begins.

  • Does Synaptive technology change how long brain surgery or recovery may take?

    Compared to traditional surgeries, procedures performed with advanced Synaptive technology give surgical teams better surgical planning, enhanced tumor visualization and reduced physical fatigue — all of which may translate into less time spent in the operating room. For patients, minimally invasive procedures performed with Synaptive technology often mean smaller incisions, less pain and fewer complications, which usually shorten overall recovery time.

  • How is Synaptive technology different from traditional brain surgery tools?

    Unlike traditional approaches, Synaptive technology offers meaningful benefits for surgical teams, including:

    • Advanced technologies in one platform: Synaptive systems combine next-generation AI software, robotic technology and high-definition imaging into one sophisticated platform.
    • Enhanced surgical planning: The Modus Plan system helps surgeons run multiple simulations of various surgical approaches to best tailor treatments to each patient.
    • Incredible visibility: Attached to a robotic arm, the Synaptive Modus V microscope delivers 4K, 3D images in real time. The robotic arm automatically adjusts positioning and microscope focus during the procedure, reducing surgeon fatigue.

  • Can Synaptive technology help with surgery for hard-to-reach brain tumors?

    Yes, Synaptive technology gives surgeons incredible visibility into brain tumors located in intricate areas of the brain, allowing them to operate on hard-to-reach tumors with greater precision than ever before. Plus, the Synaptive brain-mapping technology means surgeons can operate on tumors that were once considered inoperable due to their deep-seated location.
