Southwoods Health in Boardman has unveiled a $1.3 million robotic navigation platform, ExcelsiusGPS, aimed at enhancing spinal surgery precision. This cutting-edge system allows for advanced surgical planning and real-time visualization of patient anatomy, significantly improving accuracy and reducing recovery times. Dr. Frank Grisafi performed the region’s first robotic spine surgery using this platform, which is expected to become a standard of care in the area, similar to larger health systems in cities like Cleveland and Pittsburgh. The technology promises smaller incisions and minimizes muscle trauma, benefiting both patients and surgeons.
