People in Illinois who need complex brain and spine surgery now have access to one of the nation's most advanced surgical navigation systems.

OSF HealthCare Saint Francis Medical Center in Peoria is the first hospital in Illinois, and among the first in the country, to install the Medtronic Stealth AXiS™ Surgical System.

The Stealth AXiS™ system combines AI-powered surgical planning, real-time navigation and robotic-assisted technology to help neurosurgeons perform complex brain and spine procedures with exceptional precision. The platform is designed to support minimally invasive surgery while enhancing accuracy and efficiency throughout a procedure.

"The Stealth AXiS™ system represents an important step forward in how we care for people who need complex brain and spine surgery," says Andrew Tsung, MD, vice president of OSF HealthCare Illinois Neurological Institute. "By combining robotic-assisted navigation, AI-powered planning and advanced imaging guidance, surgeons can plan and perform procedures with exceptional precision. This allows for more targeted, minimally invasive surgery, with the goal of reducing pain, improving safety and helping them recover and return to their lives sooner."

The addition of the Stealth AXiS™ Surgical System reflects continued investment by OSF HealthCare in innovative technologies that expand access to advanced neurological care for the region.
