The robot will assist in both knee and hip replacement procedures. This is Baptist’s third surgical robot, but its first specifically for orthopedics. 

Wagdy Rizk, MD, has been using the new robot in surgeries. With its help, Dr. Rizk is expected to increase the number of procedures he is able to perform per day.  

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.
