The health system installed Zimmer Biomet’s Rosa robot at Cape Coral (Fla.) Hospital and Lee Memorial Hospital in Fort Myers. 

Rosa features technology that assists surgeons with bone resections and assesses soft tissue to facilitate implant positioning. Surgeons use the robot’s navigation technology to control and move surgical instruments, allowing for greater precision and flexibility during surgery. 

Since Lee Health established its robotics program last year, it has more than tripled its number of DaVinci robots and also added a neurosurgery robot, according to the report. 

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.
