The hospital bought the robot in 2019, according to a March 15 news release. It is used for spinal fusion and is designed for more precision in the operating room.

Dr. Garden lauded the technology for its use in minimally invasive procedures.

“Minimally invasive procedures using robotic guidance can mean less blood loss, less muscle damage and faster recovery,” he said in the news release.

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.
