Study has the potential to change clinical practice.

Balgrist University Hospital (UKB), together with the EndoSpine Academy, is promoting the worldwide establishment of keyhole surgery for spinal treatments. The aim is to replace invasive operations and thus reduce healthcare costs. Nine top international surgeons are currently meeting in Zurich for the founding of the EndoSpine Academy.

The Swiss Balgrist Association is pleased to announce that Jürg Stahl was elected to the Board of Directors by the Association's General Assembly on May 27. He succeeds Fritz Fahrni, who stepped down in 2023.

Balgrist University Hospital closed 2023 without a loss. This is not a matter of course in an environment that is increasingly creating headwinds for clinics and hospitals. Rising costs and outpatient services that still do not cover costs and are increasingly replacing inpatient treatment: This mix brings with it major challenges.

World class together. This is the motto of the new, multi-year partnership between Weltklasse Zürich and Balgrist University Hospital.

The novel photon counting method in computed tomography enables better imaging of bone healing after orthopedic surgery. Image distortions from metal implants can now be significantly reduced by the use of a tin filter and monoenergetically reconstructed image data, a recent study has shown. The research was recently published in the renowned journal "Investigative Radiology".

The OR-X translational research center has reached its next milestone: after only 15 months of construction, the infrastructure is ready for test operations. It has been handed over by the project management team to the users at Balgrist University Hospital.
