Once obtained, the expert has placed them in a membrane of the same size of the lesion and, finally, it has been introduced so that these cells are able to reproduce from biochemical signals and repair the patient’s injury. It is therefore chondrocyte transplantation for treating cartilage injuries which is only done in Spain by this clinic, as it is the only one who has a clean room for cultivation.

However, the novelty this time is the use of Google Glass as it has enabled even 150 people around the world live should witness the operation, as, for example, the director of Innovative Surgery, School of Medicine, Stanford University (USA), Homero Rivas, who has been wondering all the time Dr. Guillén the doubts that arose during surgery.

It is therefore a very good tool for preparing physician and researcher since rich will allow them to live to see operations, “said Guillen.

Specifically, Google Glass comprises a camera, a GPS , ‘bluetooth’, microphone and a small viewer that allows the user to view a slide show and at same time, taking pictures and recording videos with voice only. Thus, several doctors participating in an operation without being present, share opinions and information about the patient instantly, and access their medical records in the cloud to search for data or store.

Therefore, this mechanism does not interrupt the view of the physician and therefore allows you to observe at all times the patient who is intervening.

Finally, Beltran Moreno reported that with these glasses, which weigh only 36 grams , you will be able to detect color changes in the face of patients, to tell the press that is having at all times, or understand the interactions of different drugs, including “many possibilities”.
