Abstract

Background and objective

The hybrid operating room has been widely applied in surgery, including neurology, general surgery, gynecology, and obstetrics. By reviewing application of the hybrid operating room in different categories of surgery, we aim to summarize both advantages and disadvantages of the hybrid operating room and discuss what to do for further improving the application of it.

Methods

We searched related literature in websites including Pubmed, MEDLINE, Web of science, using the keywords “hybrid operating room”, “surgery”, “technique”, “intervention”, and “radiology”. All the searched papers were screened and underwent quality evaluation. The eventually selected papers were carefully read, with related information extracted and summarized.

Results

After screening and assessment, a total of 29 literature was collected. Application of the hybrid operating room in general surgery, neurosurgery, thoracic surgery, urology, gynecologic and obstetrics surgery, and cardiovascular surgery was summarized. Both advantages and disadvantages of the hybrid operating room were discussed in order to improve application of the hybrid operating room in surgery.

Conclusions

Surgeries performed in the hybrid operating room take advantages over those conventional operating rooms mainly in terms of higher procedure accuracy, less operative time, and less risk of hemorrhage during the transportation between radiology departments and operating suites. Further efforts should be made to reduce radiation exposure from imaging systems equipped in the hybrid operating room and increase cost-effectiveness ratio of the hybrid operating room.
