Orthopedic surgeon Thomas Hickernell, MD, was among the first surgeons at Greenwich Hospital to use the new robot, according to the report. 

Robotic joint replacements allow for more precision, fewer errors, optimized alignment and positioning, quicker recovery times and reduced postoperative pain. 

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.
