Durango, Colo.-based CommonSpirit Mercy Hospital has added the Joimax endoscopic spine system, a minimally invasive surgical option.
The technique allows surgeons to treat herniated discs through a small incision using a high-definition scope and micro-instruments. Patients typically experience less postoperative pain, reduced infection risk and shorter hospital stays, with many returning home the same day, according to a Dec. 1 system news release.
The new technology is designed to minimize blood loss, decrease opioid reliance and speed recovery time.
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.
