Dr. Baronne helped develop the robot and is reportedly the most experienced surgeon with the system. The robot helps him with minimally invasive surgeries. He told KLFY the robot helps cut operating room time 30 percent to 50 percent, and he can operate with smaller incisions.

Dr. Baronne, of Lafayette-based Louisiana Orthopedic Specialists, began using the robot in May 2018. His group was one of the first in Louisiana to get the system.

At the Becker's 23rd Annual Spine, Orthopedic and Pain Management-Driven ASC + The Future of Spine Conference, taking place June 18–20 in Chicago, spine surgeons, orthopedic leaders and ASC executives will come together to explore minimally invasive techniques, ASC growth strategies and innovations shaping the future of outpatient spine care.
