Wood County Hospital acquires robotic system for spinal surgery

        Wood County Hospital has acquired ExcelsiusGPS – a state-of-the-art robotic navigation platform for spinal surgery.
        The advanced technology enhances safety and precision, providing better spine visualization for physicians during surgery.
        “The ExcelsiusGPS robot continues our journey into offering Wood County Hospital patients advanced, minimally invasive surgical technology,” said Stan Korducki, Wood County Hospital president. “This platform improves precision and safety for our patients with back, neck and spine problems. For many patients, this translates to shorter hospital stays and faster recovery. At WCH we are proud to take leadership in the Northwest Ohio region with ExcelsiusGPS,”
        The technology will be used in a variety of procedures, ranging from spinal fusion surgeries, neck surgery, scoliosis
correction, fracture repairs, artificial disc, lumbar interbody fusion, minimally invasive lumbar fusion and posterior lumbar instrumented fusion.
        The robotic system was acquired through a Wood County Hospital Foundation grant.
