The robotic system allows surgeons to be more precise during knee replacement procedures and create a custom surgery plan for each patient. 

Using the system can lead to a reduction in post-operative pain and faster recovery times for patients. 

Mahaska Health’s orthopedics department is led by Jon Gehrke, MD, Neil Schwimley, DO, and Nathan Schneider, DO, according to its website.

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.
