The Ripon Press writes that the Appleton, Wis.-based ASC’s Stryker Mako robot results in more precise procedures and better patient outcomes to ensure patients have a fast treatment and recovery time.
The Mako robot helps Dr. Eggert with a number of procedures, including joint replacements, in which the robot can make a patient specific surgical and recovery plan.
Robotic surgery can reduce human error in procedures, and it can reduce the possibility of issues with an implant.
Dr. Eggert told the newspaper that without the Mako robot, he can predict surgery outcomes with about 86 percent accuracy. With Mako, he can predict outcomes with almost 100 percent accuracy.
“If I do robotic surgery, my expectations are met 100 percent of the time,” Dr. Eggert told The Ripon Press. “From a technical standpoint, the surgeries are always the same. You can’t see that without the robot.”
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.
