Chronic back and neck pain isn’t something anyone should suffer from. At Prevea Health, and with our partner hospital HSHS St. Vincent Hospital, we offer Wisconsin’s first robotic and navigation-assisted spine surgery for chronic back and neck pain and complex trauma spine surgeries. The fusion surgeries are for degenerative spinal conditions causing instability and pain, trauma, and spinal tumors anywhere from the top of the neck down to the base of the spine. With the help from our specially trained experts and this new, minimally invasive procedure, we can help get your life back in your hands.
Benefits include:
The ExcelsiusGPS™ machine is designed to improve accuracy and optimize patient care by using robotics and navigation, much like a GPS in your car.
On the day of surgery, medical images are taken and imported into the machine. The surgeon uses these images to determine the size and placement of implants and creates a patient plan based on the anatomy. This is used to guide the rigid robotic arm to a specific region of your spine, similar to a planned route or pathway on a GPS. The surgeon uses this pathway or route to accurately place the implants using instruments.
Throughout the procedure, the surgical instruments and implants are continuously displayed on the screen for the surgeon and staff to monitor. This display allows the surgeon to view live feedback during the procedure for more precise implant placement.
If you are suffering from back and neck pain, call (920) 272-3450 to schedule an appointment with a spine specialist.
Benefits include:
- Minimally invasive surgery
- Smaller Incision
- Reduced radiation exposure
- Increased precision
- Decreased blood loss
- Shorter hospital stay
- Quicker recovery
