Opelousas General Health System Purchases ExcelsiusGPS® – A Revolutionary Robotic Navigation Platform
Opelousas General Health System became a leader in the field of robotic guidance and navigation through the purchase of ExcelsiusGPS®. This platform technology is designed to improve safety and accuracy within the operating room. ExcelsiusGPS® provides improved visualization of patient anatomy through the procedure to help optimize patient treatment. The system is designed to streamline the surgical workflow and reduce radiation exposure to surgeons and staff. This revolutionary robotic navigation platform is the world’s first technology to combine a rigid robotic arm and full navigation capabilities into one adaptable platform for accurate trajectory alignment in spine surgery. ExcelsiusGPS® is Globus Medical’s advanced technology solution designed to enhance safety and improve efficiency for patients, staff and surgeons in the operating room.
At Opelousas General Health System, we chose ExcelsiusGPS® because it will offer our patients shorter hospital stays, less tissue damage and smaller, less visible scars.
“At Opelousas General Health System, we are committed to providing the highest
quality of care for our patients and staff and look forward to the exciting opportunities and undoubtable impact ExcelsiusGPS® will bring to the field of spine surgery, robotics, and navigation”, said Kenneth Cochran, DSc, FACHE, President & CEO.
We plan to use the system for placing screws in a variety of procedures, ranging from Transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion, direct lateral, and spinal realignment surgery. We look forward to promoting less invasive procedures through this technology.
