New system provides detailed 3D images for op teams

|October 30, 2025
SURGEONS at the Royal Stoke have become the first in the UK to use new virtual reality technology during spinal surgery.
The ‘Magic Leap’ system, used for the first time at the hospital, allows surgeons to see detailed 3D images of a patient's spine during an operation through specially designed virtual reality goggles.
Mr Vinay Jasani, consultant spinal surgeon, used the technology to perform complex surgery on 14-year-old Dylan Jaxon, who has scoliosis, a condition that causes the spine to curve abnormally.
