From his first steps in medicine, Dr. Jorge Onísimo Jaramillo Monroy set a clear goal: to transform the standards of neurosurgery in Mexico and Latin America. Graduated with honors from the Autonomous University of San Luis Potosí and specialized in neurosurgery in Monterrey, his training expanded to the United States, where he perfected techniques such as minimally invasive spine surgery and skull base neurosurgery.
Dr. Jaramillo not only dominates the operating room, but also positions himself as an academic leader and innovator. He has been a clinical instructor in neurosurgery, a professor at his alma mater and Head of the Neurosurgery Service of the ISSSTE in San Luis Potosí. However, its vision transcends education, always seeking to integrate advanced technology into its procedures.
The impact of his work reached a new milestone on July 9, 2024, when he performed the first augmented reality-assisted scoliosis surgery in Mexico and Latin America. The innovative procedure, which took more than eight hours, allowed a young 16-year-old patient with severe scoliosis to receive a precise and less invasive intervention.
Augmented reality projected real-time images obtained through CT scans, guiding the medical team with an unprecedented level of detail. This advance not only reduces surgical risks and recovery times, but opens a new era in spine surgery, bringing patients closer to a faster recovery and improved quality of life.
Recognized on two occasions with the “National Recognition of Talent and Medical Innovation Lic. Sebastián Lerdo de Tejada,” Dr. Jaramillo continues to establish himself as a reference in highly complex neurosurgery. Currently, he is in private practice in San Luis Potosí and Mexico City, in addition to teaching nationally and internationally.
In the words of the specialist himself: “Technology is not just a tool, it is a promise of excellence and well-being for each patient.”
With his innovative approach and unwavering commitment to health, Dr. Jorge Jaramillo Monroy is marking a new chapter in neurosurgery in Mexico, taking medical care to a level never seen before.
