Physicians have employed Globus Medical's ExcelsiusGPS robot in Sydney, Australia for the first time.

Since its launch in 2017, Globus Medical's ExcelsiusGPS spine robot has been used in almost 30,000 procedures as adoption continues across the spine industry.

Two of the biggest drawbacks of legacy spine robots are their size and cost, but one newly formed spine company has launched a system that it argues is more suited to ASCs and hospitals with small operating rooms.

Douglas Crowther, DO, completed his 100th robot-assisted procedure in under one year using ExcelsiusGPS technology.

Rapid City, S.D.-based Monument Health has bought an ExcelsiusGPS robotic spine surgery platform from Globus Medical.

The field of orthopedic technology is ever-expanding. As surgical robots become more advanced and more popular, more variations of them hit the market. Next-generation robots and other surgery-assisting technologies continue to change the medical field. 

Orthopedic surgeon David Eggert, MD, sets his clinic, the Orthopedic & Sports Clinic of the Fox Valley, apart from hospitals by using the precision and personalized care of a surgical robot, The Ripon Press reported July 14. 

Englewood (N.J.) Health is the first hospital in New Jersey and the 20th in the country to install Globus Medical's Excelsius Ecosystem, a robotic spinal imaging and navigation system combining the Excelsius 3D and ExcelsiusGPS, according to The Robot Report.

A Kansas neurosurgeon recently marked his 100th robotic-assisted procedure in 18 months. 

As medical technology continues to advance, demand is increasing around the world for medical robots that can offer faster, less invasive surgeries and procedures.
