The surgeons used the Mako robot system, which creates a 3D image of the operation area to allow the surgeon to determine the size and shape of the implant for surgery, according to a Setp. 19 news release.
The system minimizes risk, enhances surgeon accuracy and improves recovery for the patients.
The Detroit VA Healthcare system is the first VA in the region to integrate the Mako robot, the release 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.
