Robotic Neurosurgery

A New Revolutionary Robotic Navigation Platform is at Brown University Health

Surgeons at Brown University Health’s Norman Prince Neurosciences Institute performed the first Globus ExcelsiusGPS-guided brain and spine surgeries at Rhode Island Hospital, making us the first site in New England to use the ExcelsiusGPS for both brain and spinal applications.

By expanding our computer-assisted navigation technology offerings with the addition of two new Globus ExcelsiusGPS robotic surgical systems, we can access exceptional technology for extraordinary care.

What is Globus Excelsius?

This advanced robotic technology ensures high-quality, world-class care for all our patients. It combines real-time intraoperative neuroimaging with robotic guidance for improved accuracy, safety, and efficiency.
