Rafael Levin, MD, and Evan Baird, MD, completed the first cases using the robot Oct. 19, according to a news release. Excelsius GPS combines a robotic arm with full navigation capabilities for trajectory alignment in spine surgery. It’s designed to let surgeons operate with smaller incisions and greater reach.

Pascack Valley Medical Center’s robot roster includes Mako, Senhance and da Vinci, all of which Pascack surgeons use in knee and hip replacement, gynecology, bariatric, spine and general surgeries.

At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
