Robot NaoTrac Conducts Initial Surgical Procedures in Spain
In early August 2025, Spain's neurosurgical landscape took a significant leap forward with the installation of Brain Navi's groundbreaking neurosurgical navigation robot, NaoTrac, in a Spanish hospital [1][2]. This momentous occasion was closely tied to Spain's leading annual SENEC Congress, where neurosurgeons across the country had the opportunity to witness and test the robot's navigation capabilities [1][2].
Enhancing Precision and Outcomes
NaoTrac, powered by advanced AI technology, promises to revolutionize neurosurgery by improving surgical precision during operations [1][2]. By providing surgeons with more accurate guidance, the robot is expected to reduce complications and lead to better overall results for patients [1][2]. The system also supports clinical teams by integrating intelligent navigation, enhancing decision-making during complex surgeries [1][2].
Empowering Spanish Healthcare
The installation of NaoTrac represents Spain’s growing role as a hub for introducing cutting-edge neurosurgical technologies [1][2]. The collaboration with Palex Healthcare, a respected player in Spain’s medical market, facilitated this deployment and is anticipated to broaden access across more hospitals [1][2].
Looking Forward
The partnership between Brain Navi and Palex envisions scaling the presence of NaoTrac throughout Spain, leveraging surgeons’ strong interest in AI-enhanced surgical tools seen at SENEC [1][2]. There is optimism about expanding the integration of such technology beyond initial hospitals, improving neurosurgical practices nationwide [1][2].
The success in Spain enables Brain Navi to strengthen its position in other markets, including planned launches in China highlighted in related collaborations [4]. Brain Navi's mission to empower surgical teams with the best tools available remains at the forefront of their expansion strategies.
A Pioneering Step
The first surgeries using NaoTrac were performed in the Spanish hospital, marking a pioneering step toward more intelligent, precise neurosurgery supported by AI. This initiative sets the stage for wider adoption and ongoing innovation in surgical navigation technology both in Spain and internationally [1][2][4].
Collaboration between Palex and Brain Navi reflects Palex's commitment to supporting clinicians with solutions that make a difference in precision, efficiency, and patient care. The milestone achieved during this collaboration, the demonstration of Brain Navi's neurosurgical navigation robot, NaoTrac, at the SENEC Congress, underscores the potential for transformative advancements in neurosurgery.
