The system provides surgeons with a CT scan to create a personalized surgical plan for each patient, leading to better outcomes and shorter recovery times. 

During the procedure, the surgeon guides the robotic arm through bone preparation to prepare the hip socket and position the implant according to the predetermined surgical plan.

NEA Baptist is the first in the region to offer the Mako system for hip replacements, the report said.

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.
