Alex Castellvi, MD, is one of the surgeons trained to use the robot, which can help improve precision with implant and instrumentation placement.

“It creates a much better workflow in the operating room, where, you know, we’re able to get patients on the table and off the table much faster,” Dr. Castellvi said in the report.

Mercy Hospital is the only hospital in the region to use the robot.

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.
