Help Epworth put world-class technology into the hands of world-class surgeons

Every month, Epworth Richmond neurosurgeons operate on an average of 612 patients, providing vital treatment including head and neck cancers, spinal and cranial surgeries. And thanks to the world¬ class surgeons in our theatres, we expect demand for this treatment and care to only grow in the future.

And to provide exceptional care, our surgeons require world-class equipment, and this is what the KINEVO 900 Neurosurgical Microscope provides.

Working within the intricacies of the brain, spine and surrounding structures requires a microscope that provides optimal visualisation of the surgical field. This microscope will enable our surgeons to operate on the spine and the head, including:

• Craniotomies: an operation in which a small hole is made in the skull or a piece of bone from the skull is removed to show part of the brain.

• Laminectomies: a surgery that creates space by removing bone spurs and tissues associated with arthritis of the spin.

• Microdiscectomies: removing a portion of the intervertebral disc, the herniated or protruding portion that is compressing the traversing spinal nerve root.

Donate today and help Epworth purchase this neurosurgical microscope and ensure it is delivered to our theatres to support exceptional treatment and care.
