The same-day spine procedure eliminates neck pain and improves patient mobility. After the damaged disc is removed, an artificial disc is inserted between two healthy vertebrae through a small incision.
Before the procedure was available, patients had to undergo spinal fusion to treat their neck pain.
While spinal fusion works well for some patients, it includes more downtime following the surgery and is more invasive.
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.
