MONTROSE, CO – Montrose Regional Health is proud to announce its acquisition of the Excelsius3D and ExcelsiusGPS systems. Manufactured by Globus Medical Inc., the systems use advanced imaging, navigation and robotic guidance to provide the best patient care possible.
“We are proud to announce we have brought the revolutionary ExcelsiusGPS and Excelsius3D robotic systems to our communities,” said Jeff Mengenhausen, CEO of Montrose Regional Health. “Montrose Regional Health is known for providing advanced care for our communities. As the only hospital on the Western Slope with Excelsius Technology tools, our spine surgery patients can expect the most advanced care available – right here in the Montrose region.”
“Montrose Regional Health is the first and only hospital on the Western Slope with spinal robotics and advanced intraoperative imaging technology, making it the most advanced spine and pain center in the region. This demonstrates our long-term commitment to serving our communities by providing the highest quality spine and pain care,” said Dr. Addison Wood, spine surgeon at the Montrose Regional Health Spine & Pain Center.
The robotics and imaging technology are expected to enhance the hospital’s offerings of minimally invasive spine surgeries as well as management of large spinal deformities. ExcelsiusGPS™ is the next revolution in robotic spine surgery from Globus Medical, a developer of spinal and orthopedic implants and surgical instruments for patients with spine disorders.
ExcelsiusGPS™ is designed to improve accuracy and optimize patient care by using robotics and navigation – much like a GPS in a car. On the day of surgery, medical images are taken and imported into ExcelsiusGPS™. The surgeon uses these images to determine the size and placement of implants and creates a plan based on each patient’s specific anatomy. This is used to guide the rigid robotic arm to a specific region of the patient’s spine, similar to a planned route or pathway on a GPS. The surgeon uses this pathway or route to accurately place the implants using instruments.
Throughout the procedure, the surgical instruments and implants are continuously displayed on the screen for the surgeon and staff to monitor and manipulate. This display allows the surgeon to view live feedback during procedures for more precise implant placement.
Dr. Addison Wood is experienced with the Excelsius Technology tools, allowing the hospital to offer the advanced technology to spine surgery patients in the immediate future.
