“With the Mako robot, I know more about my patients than ever before, and I’m able to cut less,” Cambridge orthopedic surgeon Robert Doohen, MD, said. “For some patients, this can mean less soft tissue damage, for others, greater bone preservation. Mako’s 3D CT allows me to create a personalized plan based on each patient’s unique anatomy all before entering the operating room. It’s exciting to be able to offer this transformative technology to perform total knee, total hip and partial knee replacements.”

The hospital is holding an open house on April 26 to showcase the robot, with a demonstration at 3:30 p.m.

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.
