Staying in motion is a way of life. Whether you’re swinging a tennis racket, chasing your grandkids, or teeing off on the back nine, joint and spine pain can pull you out of the game. Thanks to advancements in minimally invasive and robotic-assisted surgery, patients at Lowcountry Orthopaedics are returning faster and stronger than before.
We’re proud to offer the Lowcountry two of the most advanced technologies in the field: ExcelsiusGPS® for spine surgery and Mako® robotic-assisted joint replacement. These tools are game changers.
Spine Surgery Precision with ExcelsiusGPS®
For many patients with chronic back or neck pain, spine surgery has traditionally meant long recoveries, large incisions, and significant time away from daily life. But that’s no longer the only playbook.
ExcelsiusGPS® is a cutting-edge robotic navigation platform used for minimally invasive spine surgery. It combines a GPS-like navigation system with robotic guidance, allowing for unparalleled precision in placing screws and hardware through smaller incisions.
How it changes the game for spine patients:
- Smaller incisions, less muscle disruption
- Less trauma to surrounding tissues means quicker recovery and less post-operative pain.
- Improved accuracy and safety
- The robot’s guidance system enables the surgeon to place spinal implants with pinpoint accuracy, reducing risk and increasing surgical efficiency.
- Faster recovery and less hospital time
- Many patients go home sooner and return to activities they love without being benched for weeks.
Whether you’re dealing with spinal stenosis, herniated discs, or degenerative conditions, ExcelsiusGPS® helps us execute a better game plan.
Mako® Robotic-Assisted Joint Replacement
Knee and hip replacements are no longer a last resort. Mako® robotic-assisted surgery allows patients to regain long-term mobility with minimal downtime. Mako® technology allows us to create a personalized surgical plan using a 3D model of your hip or knee joint and assists in surgery with a robotic arm.
Benefits of Mako®:
- Precision placement of implants
Better alignment means improved joint function and potentially longer-lasting results.
- Customized surgical plans
Every patient’s anatomy is unique. Mako® helps us plan every move before the first incision.
- Smaller incisions, less trauma
Minimally invasive access reduces bleeding and swelling. It also speeds up recovery time.
- Faster return to movement
Most patients begin walking the same day and return to low-impact activities much sooner than with traditional joint replacement.
