Juris Shibayama, MD, debuted the system April 1, and John Burleson, MD, also performs cases with it.

The navigation system creates a preoperative scan and helps surgeons visualize a patient’s anatomy in real-time during procedures.

“It provides improved visualization of patient anatomy to optimize patient treatment, streamline the surgical workflow, and greatly reduce radiation exposure to surgeons and staff,” Dr. Shibayama said. “This technology is a win-win for the patient, our colleagues, and our hospital.”

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.
