SPOKANE, Wash. – The surgeons of Providence Sacred Heart Medical Center are about to take their surgical care up to a whole new level, offering quicker recovery to their patients. Thanks in part to donors who gave $1.5 million through the Providence Health Care Foundation, they recently brought in a Globus Medical Excelsuis GPS, a surgical robot.
This device has been on the hospital wish list for quite some time. Dr. Whitney, a neurosurgeon, said, “I personally have worked on this project for a number of years, so to finally be here is really exciting.”
Not only will the same procedures become less invasive, but this is also cutting down the surgical time by at least an hour. More importantly, for the patient, it’s cutting down the recovery time.
