Surgeons are expected to begin deploying the new robot beginning in 2025. One of the first surgeons scheduled to use the robot is Andrew Manista, MD, a surgeon at Olympia Orthopaedic Associates, who has already performed more than 1,500 robot-assisted cases.
The tool will aid in the precise placement of tools, implants and positioning, expanding the types of procedures that can be performed at St. Peter.
Providence St. Peter and Centralia hospitals already use two Mako robots for orthopedic surgeries and two Da Vinci robots for thoracic, general, urology and gynecological procedures. However, the Globus robot will enhance the complexity of cases that can be performed, according to the report.
In addition to Dr. Manista, new surgeons joining Olympia Orthopaedic this spring will also be trained to use Globus technology.
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.
