The hospital first used the system in 2018, according to a July 5 news release. Richard Williamson, MD, Alexander Yu, MD, and Jody Leonardo, MD, were among the first in the world to use the technology. The system is used for brain and spine procedures.

“This transformative technology for cranial and spinal procedures has enabled our surgeons to provide the most innovative care to our patients, offering better clinical outcomes and overall quality of life,” Donald Whiting, MD, neurosurgeon and chair of the AHN Neuroscience Institute, said in the release.

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.
