Surgeons at Baltimore-based MedStar Union Memorial Hospital collectively surpassed 1,000 robot-assisted spine surgeries since 2021, according to an April 7 news release.
Paul Asdourian, MD; Bradley Moatz, MD, and Zan Naseer, MD, are among the surgeons who use the spine robot, an ExcelsiusGPS system. The robot helps surgeons plan procedures and guide them with real-time imaging for minimally invasive spinal fusions.
“This milestone represents more than a number,” Henry Boucher, MD, vice president of Medical Operations for MedStar Medical Group, said in the release. “It shows years of focus on advancing spine care in ways that directly help patients. By investing early in robotic technology and building expertise, we can offer safer, more precise procedures and support faster recovery.”
At the Becker's 23rd Annual Spine, Orthopedic and Pain Management-Driven ASC + The Future of Spine Conference, taking place June 11-13 in Chicago, spine surgeons, orthopedic leaders and ASC executives will come together to explore minimally invasive techniques, ASC growth strategies and innovations shaping the future of outpatient spine care.
