About
ExcelsiusGPS™ is Globus Medical's flagship robotic navigation platform — the first and only system on the market delivering a fully integrated approach to spine and cranial surgery from start to finish. Built as part of the broader Excelsius™ Technology ecosystem, it combines robotic guidance, real-time intraoperative navigation, advanced imaging via Excelsius3D™, extended reality via ExcelsiusXR™, and freehand navigation via ExcelsiusFlex™, all coordinated through the ExcelsiusHub™ central platform. Designed for hospital operating rooms and surgical centers, ExcelsiusGPS™ enables surgeons to perform a wide range of spine procedures — including TLIF, XLIF™, ALIF, ACDF, posterior cervical fusion, deformity correction, sacroiliac joint fusion, and more — with greater accuracy and confidence. The system integrates seamlessly with Globus Medical's portfolio of interbody spacers, fixation systems, regenerative biologics, and power tools. The platform is backed by robust clinical evidence, a comprehensive surgeon education program, and dedicated clinical services support. Its navigated high-speed drill (Verzera™) and power systems further streamline surgical workflows. ExcelsiusGPS™ is purpose-built for spine surgeons, neurosurgeons, and hospital systems seeking to improve patient outcomes, reduce revision rates, and modernize their OR capabilities with cutting-edge AI-assisted robotic navigation technology.

- Integrated Excelsius™ Ecosystem: Seamlessly connects with ExcelsiusHub™, Excelsius3D™ imaging, ExcelsiusXR™ extended reality, and ExcelsiusFlex™ freehand navigation for a unified surgical workflow.
- Wide Spine Procedure Coverage: Supports a broad range of spine approaches including TLIF, XLIF™, ALIF, ACDF, posterior cervical fusion, deformity correction, and sacroiliac joint fusion.
- Navigated Power Tools Integration: Integrates with the Verzera™ Navigated High Speed Drill and other power tools to streamline OR workflows and improve surgical precision.
- Clinical Evidence & Education Support: Backed by published clinical research, surgeon education portals, courses, and dedicated clinical services to maximize adoption and outcomes.
Use Cases
- Hospitals seeking to establish or upgrade a robotic spine surgery program with a single integrated platform covering multiple procedure types.
- Spine surgeons performing complex deformity corrections, minimally invasive fusions, or multi-level cervical procedures who need real-time robotic guidance.
- Neurosurgeons conducting cranial procedures who require precise navigation integrated with the same platform used for spine cases.
- Academic medical centers and research hospitals looking to leverage clinical evidence, registries (SpineTRACK™), and education infrastructure alongside robotic surgery.
- Ambulatory surgical centers (ASCs) expanding into robot-assisted spine procedures to attract high-volume spine surgeons and improve patient outcomes.
Pros
- First-of-its-Kind Dual Coverage: The only robotic navigation platform covering both spine and cranial procedures in a single integrated system, reducing the need for multiple platforms.
- End-to-End Surgical Ecosystem: Deep integration with imaging, navigation, XR visualization, biologics, and power tools creates a cohesive, streamlined OR environment.
- Strong Clinical Validation: Supported by extensive published research and clinical evidence, offering hospitals and surgeons confidence in patient outcome improvements.
- Comprehensive Surgeon Training: Offers dedicated education portals, hands-on courses, and ongoing clinical support to accelerate surgeon proficiency and adoption.
Cons
- High Capital Investment: As an enterprise-grade surgical robotic system, ExcelsiusGPS™ represents a significant capital expenditure that may be prohibitive for smaller hospitals or ASCs.
- Specialized Deployment Requirements: Requires dedicated OR space, staff training, and integration with existing hospital infrastructure, increasing implementation complexity and time.
- Limited to Globus Medical Implant Ecosystem: Optimized primarily for use with Globus Medical's own implants and instruments, which may limit flexibility for surgeons who prefer third-party products.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes ExcelsiusGPS™ different from other surgical robots?
ExcelsiusGPS™ is the first and only robotic navigation platform that provides a comprehensive, integrated approach to both spine and cranial procedures from start to finish, rather than addressing only one specialty or one phase of surgery.
What spine procedures does ExcelsiusGPS™ support?
The platform supports a wide range of spine procedures including TLIF, XLIF™, ALIF, ACDF, posterior cervical fusion, laminoplasty, deformity correction, sacroiliac joint fusion, pediatric and growing spine cases, and vertebral body augmentation.
How does ExcelsiusGPS™ integrate with other OR technology?
ExcelsiusGPS™ is part of the Excelsius™ Technology ecosystem and integrates with ExcelsiusHub™ (central platform), Excelsius3D™ (intraoperative imaging), ExcelsiusXR™ (extended reality), ExcelsiusFlex™ (freehand navigation), and Globus Power tools like the Verzera™ drill.
