The clinic performs 80 robotic surgeries a month on average, with 13 physicians in orthopedics, urology, gynecology and general surgery trained to perform robotic surgeries.
“Patients who undergo robotic surgery usually experience a faster recovery time and return to normal activities,” Amy Lloyd, MD, the Mayo Clinic physician who performed the 1,000th surgery, told the Tribune. “Also, patients may experience less blood loss and pain, reduced risk of infection at the incision site, and minimal scarring than they would with other surgical methods.”
At the Becker's 23rd Annual Spine, Orthopedic and Pain Management-Driven ASC + The Future of Spine Conference, taking place June 11-13 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.
