Safdar Khan, MD, an orthopedic spine surgeon, used the Augmedics Xvision spine system for spine implant procedures, according to a Sept. 14 announcement. He used the technology to see a 3D model of a patient’s spine while looking at them on the operating table.

“The addition of augmented reality to the full complement of complex spinal care available at Ohio State Wexner Medical Center will enhance our clinical team’s ability to develop an effective, personalized treatment plan for patients,” Dr. Khan said.

At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
