Every day at Royal University Hospital we meet people whose lives have been turned upside down in a single moment — a diagnosis they never expected, a brain tumour.
I’m Dr. Luke Hnenny, a neurosurgeon at Royal University Hospital. I am writing you today to ask for your help in bringing a new surgical technology that could change outcomes for patients with brain tumours here in Saskatchewan.
Human brains are incredibly complex. Brain surgery demands exceptional precision, and every millimeter matters. The BrainPath and NICO Myriad Surgical System will help our team perform these difficult , detailed surgeries with greater safety and accuracy.
At a cost of $350,000, these remarkable tools will change the way we care for people with brain tumours here in Saskatchewan.
This isn’t just a new device — it’s a game-changer for patient care, but we need your help.
Using the BrainPath and NICO Myriad together, we can safely reach and remove deep-seated tumours with improved safety and precision, protect healthy brain tissue, and help patients recover more quickly than ever before.
With the BrainPath and NICO Myriad, we can:
- Access deep-seated tumours through tiny channels, avoiding large openings in the skull.
- Remove abnormal tissue with ultra-fine precision, protecting the surrounding healthy brain
structures, reducing the risk of complications and improving recovery. - Reduce surgical time by up to 50%, shortening hospital stays and helping patients return to
their lives sooner.
Royal University Hospital would be among the first centres in Western Canada to offer this advanced care — placing Saskatchewan at the forefront of neurosurgical innovation and patient care.
This technology not only improves outcomes for patients today, it will also help us recruit and train the next generation of world-class neurosurgeons right here at home.
You can help make this possible.
Every gift, large or small, brings us closer to ensuring that families facing brain surgery receive the safest, least invasive care available, without having to leave our province.
Will you join me in making this life-saving technology a reality?
With your help, together we can give patients and families at Royal University Hospital the best possible chance at healing and hope. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Dr. Luke Hnenny
