Surgeons at the practice have completed their first case using Mako, which creates a CT scan to help physicians plan procedures. The robot can make surgeries more accurate compared with traditional joint replacements.

“The robot helps make really accurate cuts in joint replacement in a manner that is highly accurate and reproducible for many surgeons,” Pasquale Petrera, MD, told the station.

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.
