What is Excelsius Gps?

ExcelsiusGPS™ is the next revolution in robotic spine surgery designed to optimize patient recovery through minimally invasive spine surgery. The system is designed to streamline surgical workflow and reduce overall radiation exposure to surgeons and staff.

What is robotic spine surgery?

Robotic spine surgery, or robot-assisted spine surgery, describes the use of robotic technology to assist with guidance during spinal neurosurgery. Traditionally, neurosurgeons have placed instrumentation in the spine “freehand,” relying on their knowledge of anatomy and on X-rays.

What is NuVasive pulse?

The Pulse™ system is the first integrated technology platform designed to improve the safety, efficiency, and reproducibility of all types of spine surgical procedures. Developed by NuVasive, a medical device company based in the US, the Pulse platform can be utilised in 100% of spine operations.

Can you have a robotic spine?

Robotic spine surgery is a form of minimally invasive spine surgery. If you are experiencing chronic back pain that is unresponsive to non-surgical treatment, you may be a candidate for minimally invasive spine surgery in conjunction with the ExcelsiusGPS™ spinal surgery system.

Is Robotic spine surgery safe?

Robotic spine surgery is one of the safest, most accurate minimally invasive spinal procedures available. Robotic guidance has been used in over 29,000 procedures, helped place over 100,000 implants and been cleared by the FDA.

Does the bone grow back after a laminectomy?

A laminectomy removes the entire lamina. The lamina does not grow back. Instead, scar tissue grows over the bone, replacing the lamina, and protects the spinal nerves.

Is Robotic spine surgery better?

Robot-assisted spine surgery has many advantages, even with limited use, such as: Increased accuracy of pedicle screw placement. Decreased radiation exposure to surgeons and surgical team (from fluoroscopy) Less tissue destruction than traditional surgery.

What is spine surgery called?

Laminectomy is a procedure that is used to treat spinal stenosis or pressure on the nerves of the low back. The surgery involves an incision on the back of the spine that allows the surgeon to remove bone spurs and thickened ligaments that are pressing on the nerves of the low back.

Is laminectomy a major surgery?

A cervical laminectomy can take1 to 3 hours to perform. It is a major spine surgery in a sensitive location on the backbone. It is usually performed only when symptoms are not relieved with non-invasive therapies such as: rest.
