Tanner Medical Center/Villa Rica (Ga.) has introduced the ExcelsiusGPS robotic navigation platform for spine surgery, becoming one of only eight health systems in the state to adopt the technology.
The system, developed by Globus Medical, enables minimally invasive procedures with smaller incisions, less blood loss, shorter hospital stays and faster recovery, according to a Sept. 26 system news release. It also reduces radiation exposure for patients and surgical teams.
Orthopedic surgeon Krishna Gumidyala, MD, is leading its use at Tanner. The investment expands access to advanced spine care for patients in West Georgia.
