The first operation was led by surgeon Syed Mehdi, MD, and his team. Dr. Mehdi used the ExcelsiusGPS to robotically place Creo MIS screws at L3-L4 and navigate placement of the Elsa expandable lateral interbody spacer, according to a Feb. 14 LinkedIn post from Globus. 

The Excelsius system streamlines the surgical workflow, reduces radiation exposure and allows for smaller incisions, less tissue damage, quicker recovery and less postoperative pain. 

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.
