Edward Silverman, MD, an orthopedic surgeon at HCA Florida Biscayne Bay Orthopedics at Mercy Hospital, specializes in performing the procedure. 

Dr. Silverman recently performed his 100th procedure, according to an Aug. 22 news release. 

“The accuracy and ability to make fine tune adjustments is not possible without robotic technology,” Dr. Silverman said in the news release. “The combination of these features of the system has the potential to lead to better outcomes and higher patient satisfaction as many can resume their active lifestyles.”

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.
