A medical team at Northside Hospital Gwinnett in Lawrenceville, Ga., has completed the system’s first ultra-minimally invasive endoscopic spine surgery.
The procedure was performed by orthopedic surgeon Vamsi Kancherla, MD, using Arthrex endoscopic spine technology, according to a June 18 news release.
The minimally invasive procedure eliminates the need for a large incision, minimizing disruption and damage to nearby muscles. It can often be performed in the outpatient setting, letting patients go home the same 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.
