At Metropolitan Hospital, Dr. Lykissas’ team delivers outstanding aesthetic and functional outcomes for patients of all ages with scoliosis or kyphosis, setting a new standard in advanced spine surgery.
This unique level of precision is made possible through the exclusive use in Greece of the robotic ExcelsiusGPS® system, intraoperative O-Arm 3D navigation, and continuous intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring.
This comprehensive, patient-centered approach combines surgical expertise with cutting-edge technology to address the progressive nature of scoliosis and kyphosis, ensuring safe, precise, and highly effective spinal correction.
Key advantages include:
- Robotic technology ensures excellent aesthetic and functional outcomes
- Scoliosis/kyphosis in both young and older patients can progress, causing pain and reduced quality of life
- Use of ExcelsiusGPS, O-ARM 3D navigation, and intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring at Metropolitan Hospital
- High precision in implant placement with significantly reduced neurological risk
- Average correction exceeds 90%, with many cases reaching 100%
