The decision to receive treatment through surgery can be an overwhelming
task for patients. Through collaboration with your provider and surgical
team, you can find the solution that works best for you – allowing
you to return to your life as healthy and quickly as possible.
Our leading robotic-assisted neurosurgery experts include:
Dr. Erich Wolf, a board-certified neurosurgeon who has treated countless patients across
the region with a reputation for compassionate care and innovative surgical
techniques has made him a trusted name in southwest Louisiana.
Dr. Gregory Rubino, a board-certified neurological surgeon, brings over 20 years of state-of-the-art
academic neurosurgical experience to Lake Charles, offering sophisticated
surgical techniques usually only found in top academic centers to address
complex spinal pathology in a community setting.
The human spine is one of the most important structures in the human body.
It provides support for your body’s weight, allows for a full range
of movement, and houses the spinal cord – an integral communication
pathway from your brain to the rest of your body.
Damage to the spinal cord can cause a host of issues for patients –
but there are treatment options available. Minimally invasive spine surgery
is possible with the Excelsius robot. This tool allows our surgical team
to better understand the anatomy of a patient’s spinal cord in order
to treat spinal conditions with small incisions and less need to access
the spine through muscles that surround the spine.
This minimal-invasive treatment allows patients to benefit from shorter
hospital stays*, less tissue damage*, smaller incisions and less scarring*.
If you are experiencing chronic back pain that is unresponsive to treatment,
it may be time to speak with your doctor about other options, including
surgery. Talk to your doctor and surgical specialists to learn more and
find out if minimally invasive surgery in conjunction with Excelsis is
right for you.
