By using the Rosa system, doctors and neurosurgeons were able to perform deep brain stimulation, a method to treat Parkinson’s disease, in half the time of the traditional surgery, according to a Feb. 20 news release.
The system is able to precisely target and accurately verify the position of electrodes and only requires patients to spend one night in the hospital, the release said. The procedure is performed while the patient is under general anesthesia, unlike traditional DBS surgery, which requires the patient to remain awake.
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.
