| POST FALLS, Idaho, Aug. 20, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Northwest Specialty Hospital in coordination with AxisSpine, PLLC and Globus Medical, Inc. is now offering one of the most advanced and innovative spinal guidance navigation systems in the world.
The ExcelsiusGPS® is a state-of-the-art robotic navigation platform and is the first technology to combine a rigid robotic arm and full navigation capabilities into one adaptable platform for accurate trajectory alignment in spine surgery. The system is designed to improve surgical precision, shorten the time required for surgery, and reduce potential exposure to radiation. Spinal surgeon Dr. Roland Kent recently released this statement in connection with the ExcelsiusGPS® robotic navigation platform, “Northwest Specialty Hospital and Axis Spine Center are committed to the highest level of spine surgical care and are always looking for ways to improve spine surgical outcomes. We have teamed up to bring the ExcelsiusGPS Robotic technology to our operating rooms. We are the first in the region to combine robotic technology with intraoperative three-dimensional radiographic technology to improve accuracy, reliability and reproducibility of surgical implant placement which means a better outcome for our patients every time.” The ExcelsiusGPS® will be used in procedures such as minimally invasive spinal fusion, revision spinal surgery and Scoliosis correction surgery. Minimally invasive procedures reduce pain, shorten the hospital stay and represent fewer complications compared to open surgery. The addition of the ExcelsiusGPS® navigation system represents Northwest Specialty Hospital’s commitment to investing in technological advancements that put patient care and safety first.
