Through its National Spine Center, National Hospital introduced the latest innovations in modern spine surgery technology at an event entitled "Modern Spine Surgery: The Role of 3D Navigation and Minimally Invasive Techniques." The event was held at the Ang Kang Hoo Auditorium, National Hospital, Surabaya, on Thursday, November 5, 2026.
In collaboration with Medtronic, GE HealthCare, Siemens Healthineers, and Elo Karsa Utama, National Hospital has integrated advanced imaging technology, 3D Brain Mapping, and 3D Spine Navigation to support more precise planning and execution of spine surgery procedures. With this advancement, National Hospital becomes the first hospital in Eastern Indonesia to introduce 3D Spine Navigation technology.
National Hospital CEO, Ang Hoey Tiong, stated that this innovation reflects the hospital’s commitment to providing advanced medical technology while continuing to prioritize patient safety and individual patient needs. National Hospital hopes this initiative will contribute to the advancement of modern spine surgery services in Indonesia.
"Through collaboration with various medical technology partners, we are committed to delivering leading healthcare services through innovation and advanced medical technology, while continuing to prioritize the safety and needs of every patient. We hope this initiative will contribute to the development of modern spine surgery services in Indonesia, particularly in the eastern region of the country," said Ang Hoey Tiong.
On the same occasion, dr. Larona Hydravianto, Sp.OT (K), Spine, M.Kes., explained that 3D Spine Navigation technology represents a significant advancement in spine surgery procedures, particularly in improving accuracy and precision during implant placement.
"In spine surgery, it is not enough for a procedure to be performed well; it must also be precise. Navigation technology provides doctors with more accurate guidance during implant placement. In addition, this technology can help minimize the use of X-ray radiation during surgery and support the treatment of complex cases, such as spinal deformities and patients with poor bone quality," explained dr. Larona.
Furthermore, dr. Larona highlighted that the use of this technology is expected to support three key aspects of modern spine surgery: precision, patient safety, and better outcomes.
Through this innovation, National Hospital continues to strengthen the services offered by its National Spine Center, providing modern spine surgery that prioritizes precision, patient safety, and optimal surgical outcomes. This initiative also contributes to the advancement of technology and modern spine surgery services in Indonesia.
