The health system said the first procedure using the platform will take place at UH St. John Medical Center in Westlake, Ohio, on March 11. The procedure will be performed by Dustin Donnelly, MD, PhD. The platform will then be used at a later date at UH Cleveland Medical Center.

The surgical platform allows physicians to create a 3D simulation of the surgery using CT images of the patient. The platform’s robotic arm also offers precise movements during the procedure.

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.
