Precision Beyond Borders: Arizona Specialty Hospital Unveils the Future with ExcelsiusGPS® Robotic-Assisted Spine Surgery

Fri Dec 22 2023

Are you searching for the most advanced treatment for your spinal issues? Look no further; Arizona Specialty Hospital is committed to providing quality-assured, patient-friendly solutions to complex spinal problems.

We have recently incorporated the highly innovative ExcelsiusGPS® Robotic-Assisted Spine Surgery into our roster of patient care services. The cutting-edge technology promises unparalleled precision and enhanced safety, making your journey to recovery smoother and faster. Keep reading to find out more about this groundbreaking technology.

What is Robotic-assisted Spine Surgery?

Robotic spine surgery is an emerging technology that employs robots to aid in surgical procedures performed on the spinal column. A surgeon-controlled robotic arm has a camera and surgical instruments inserted through small incisions in the patient’s back.

The surgeon expertly uses the robotic arm to manipulate the instruments and precisely perform the surgical procedure. After the completion of the surgery, the surgical instruments are taken out, and the small incisions are stitched up.

The robotic system is currently inaccessible, making it challenging for patients to locate surgeons with sufficient experience conducting the procedure. However, Arizona Specialty Hospital is proud to be at the forefront of providing this revolutionary technology, making it easily accessible for patients in need.

Our team of highly qualified spine surgeons has undergone extensive training to perform precision-guided robotic-assisted surgeries, ensuring the best outcomes for our patients. We take great pride in being one of the few healthcare providers to offer this cutting-edge technology.

Benefits of Using ExcelsiusGPS® in Spine Surgery

The ExcelsiusGPS® system integrates state-of-the-art robotic and navigation technologies, providing a safer and more efficient alternative to traditional spine surgery. Here are some key advantages of using ExcelsiusGPS® for your spine surgery:

  • Spine surgeries are done in two ways: percutaneously (minimally invasive) or through open surgery. Both methods need imaging equipment. The Exelsius Ecosystem simplifies this by providing surgeons with an all-in-one imaging capability, eliminating the need for extra equipment.
  • The robot can be programmed to navigate complex spine structures effortlessly, guaranteeing the surgeon’s ability to operate accurately. This results in a safer and more efficient surgery, reducing the duration of the operation and potential complications.
  • Robotic spine surgery usually involves smaller incisions compared to traditional surgery. This helps minimize muscle tissue separation, reducing the risk of complications associated with the procedure.
  • The Excelsius GPS®, approved by the FDA in 2017, provides live imaging during surgery, automatically adjusts for patient movement, and enables direct screw insertion. Instant feedback is available if the drill skives or the reference frameshifts. As a result, the risk of surgical errors is significantly reduced.
