The procedure was a lumbar spine surgery and fusion performed Sept. 2 at Renown Regional Medical Center in Reno, Nev., according to a Sept. 23 news release. The Perc Pin was inserted into the posterior superior iliac spine.

The Perc Pin helps keep the patient marker in a surgeon’s field of view while avoiding the surgical site, and it was FDA cleared in July. It also reduces incision size for percutaneous procedures.

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.
