Visiting Neurosurgeon from Australia Observes Robotic Spine Surgeries

Henry Ford Allegiance Health (HFAH) and neurosurgeon Amritraj Loganathan, MD, are earning international recognition in the field of robotic spine surgery. On Thursday, February 7, Dr. David Oehme, a neurosurgeon from Melbourne, Australia, came to Jackson for the purpose of observing Dr. Loganathan perform spine surgery with the Excelcius GPSTM Surgical System. Designed to increase safety for patients and accuracy for their surgeons, the innovative system enables neurosurgeons to perform minimally invasive spine surgery that typically results in a shorter hospital stay and faster recovery time for patients. HFAH is the first in Michigan to offer patients the advantages of this robotic surgical system. “There is a perception in Australia that robotic surgery is better. I am here to see the robot in action. I really want to get an appreciation of the robot at work in the theater with an actual patient,” said Dr. Oehme, who specializes in the treatment of back pain and degenerative diseases of the spine. He has up to 600 spine surgery cases each year. Dr. Loganathan explained how HFAH is uniquely qualified to host forward-thinking international physicians like Dr. Oehme. “We are a relatively small hospital with a friendly atmosphere using high tech surgical systems. Our accessible size coupled with advanced technology makes it easier for us to host surgeons who want to get an inside look at the advantages we can offer patients.” One of the advantages of the ExcelciusGPS system is the inclusion of a GPS 3-D guidance system, designed to improve accuracy and optimize patient care by combining the benefits of robotics with navigation, much like the GPS in a car. This advanced technology allows a neurosurgeon to place screws and implants in a very precise fashion while seeing exactly where to place their instruments in real-time. By preprogramming coordinates, the robotic arm of the ExcelciusGPS can assist in guiding surgeons to precise locations in their patient’s spines. The result is safer, faster surgery with less radiation exposure and less need to reposition the patient. Dr. Oehme observed three robotic spine surgeries during his visit and was among the first Australian surgeons to see the ExcelciusGPS in use with patients. He anticipates St. Vincent’s Hospital in Melbourne will acquire an ExcelciusGPS at some point in the future to complement its existing technology.
