How the ExcelsiusGPS™ Works

Before your surgery, your doctor will use detailed images of your spine to create a personalized surgical plan. During the procedure, the ExcelsiusGPS™ system guides the surgeon's instruments with robotic precision, following this customized plan. The surgeon uses the robot's technology to improve surgical precision.

What This Means for You

By choosing a hospital equipped with ExcelsiusGPS™, you're opting for a surgical approach that prioritizes accuracy, safety, and potentially faster recovery. Our commitment to this and other instruments of advanced technology reflects our dedication to providing you with the highest quality care possible.

How ExcelsiusGPS Works: A Symphony of Precision

The ExcelsiusGPS™ system combines a rigid robotic arm with advanced navigation capabilities, allowing surgeons to execute complex procedures with unparalleled accuracy. The key steps include:

Pre-Operative Planning: MRI and CT scans are uploaded into the ExcelsiusGPS software, enabling meticulous planning of implant placements, biopsies, or other procedures.

Intraoperative Setup: A stabilized robotic base station and strategically placed camera allow for seamless integration into the operating room.

Registration: Multiple registration methods, including intraoperative CT and CT fluoroscopy registration, minimize radiation exposure and enhance efficiency.

Robotic Navigation: The robotic arm aligns itself with the pre-determined trajectory, ensuring precise instrument placement.

Real-Time Feedback: Continuous visualization allows for adjustments, maintaining navigational integrity throughout the procedure.
