Providence St. Joseph Hospital Performs
World’s First Spine Surgery Using eCential Robotics’ Open Spine
Robot, with Spineart Compatible Implants
ORANGE, Calif. July 25, 2024 –
Providence St. Joseph Hospital announced it has successfully
performed the world’s first robotic spinal surgery using a new open
spine platform by eCential Robotics to implant a Spineart medical
device.
eCential Robotics, a surgical robotics company
which developed the open surgical platform and Spineart, a leader
in spine surgery innovation, are collaborators in a new age of open
technology sharing that allows cross-functional use of implantation
devices and robotic surgical platforms.
“In our relentless pursuit of innovation and
excellence in patient care, we were eager to utilize the solutions
provided by Spineart and eCential,” said Erick Westbroek*, M.D.,
Providence St. Joseph spinal surgeon. “The integration of
Spineart's advanced implant system with eCential's open robotic
platform will enable us to perform minimally invasive surgeries
with high predictability, reproducibility and outcomes.”
Providence St. Joseph Hospital has become the
first clinical institution in the world to be equipped with the
state-of-the-art robot, and the recent surgeries are the first in
the United States to be used successfully in conjunction with
Spineart implants.
“St. Joseph Hospital has built a strong
reputation for world-class surgical care, and our patients often
travel from far and wide to seek treatment and care from our
stellar spine and orthopedic surgeons, who are armed with
cutting-edge technology,” said Brian Helleland, chief executive of
Providence St. Joseph Hospital and the Orange County/High Desert
area. “These advances provide yet another sophisticated platform
for our surgeons to do what they do best.”
“We are thrilled to announce the installation of
this state-of-the-art robot at St. Joseph Hospital,” said Jerome
Trividic, CEO of Spineart. “We believe this advancement will
greatly benefit our customers, hospitals, surgeons, and patients by
enhancing surgical precision and improving patient outcomes.”
St. Joseph’s surgical cases for eCential
Robotics are a first-in-human use of its unified robotic
technology, as well as the start of eCential operations in the US.
It also marks the introduction of cutting-edge solutions that
address the evolving needs of surgeons and patients worldwide.
“We are pleased to see the adoption of our
technology in the US,” Clément Vidal, CEO of eCential Robotics.
“There is strong interest and momentum for our open solution
because it allows surgeons to select the optimal implant system for
each patient while providing financial advantages to hospitals. Our
platform is described as the smartphone of surgical robots.”
