Mr Peart said: \u201cA few days later, I woke up and saw him using his right hand to lift his left hand into the air.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe looked at me and said, \u2018Dad, quick, look, my fingers are doing finger things.\u2019 It was one of the most remarkable moments of my life.<\/p>\n
\u201cJust a week after surgery, we were told he was ready to go home. Walking out of the hospital with Toby was an emotional moment and one we\u2019ll never forget. We\u2019re so grateful to [Roddy] O\u2019Kane and the entire team who cared for him.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mr Peart and his wife, Adie, were told by the surgical team that their son could lose his sight or face paralysis following the surgery.<\/p>\n
\u2018Enhanced visualisation\u2019<\/p>\n
The technology is designed to provide \u201cexceptional\u201d image quality, powerful illumination and enhanced depth perception.<\/p>\n
Roddy O\u2019Kane, the consultant neurosurgeon at NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde, said: \u201cTraditionally, neurosurgery meant working for hours with your eyes fixed to microscope eyepieces.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis technology allows us to operate upright while gaining views and angles that simply aren\u2019t possible with conventional microscopes.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor children undergoing brain surgery, that enhanced visualisation can make a real difference.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe ability to see more clearly and reach more effectively supports safer surgery and, ultimately, better outcomes.\u201d<\/p>\n
Emer Campbell, the clinical lead and consultant neurosurgeon at the health board, said: \u201cWe\u2019re delighted to have this technology in place.<\/p>\n
\u201cBeyond the clear benefits for our patients, we\u2019re already seeing how it enhances teamwork, workflow and training in theatre.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Mr Peart said: \u201cA few days later, I woke up and saw him using his right hand to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":701513,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[7276,8669,59,102,2196,50,200,5438,56,225,54,55],"class_list":["post-701512","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-health","tag-brain-health","tag-brain-tumours","tag-gb","tag-health","tag-hospitals","tag-news","tag-scotland","tag-standard","tag-uk","tag-uk-news","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/701512","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=701512"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/701512\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/701513"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=701512"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=701512"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=701512"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
