Boardman Ohio-based Southwoods Health purchased an ExcelsiusGPS spine robot, according to an April 21 news release.
The $1.3 million investment was made after spine surgeons spent two years evaluating options for robotic-assisted spine systems. Frank Grisafi, MD, performed the first case with the ExcelsiusGPS at the hospital.
“I think ExcelsiusGPS offers tremendous benefits to our patients and believe it will become the standard of care—as it has in larger metropolitan health systems including Cleveland and Pittsburgh,” Dr. Grisafi said in the release. “This technology allows us to plan procedures in advance, reduce operating times for complex cases and expand our ability to perform minimally invasive 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.
