Spine surgeon Richard Westmark, MD, performed the first outpatient spine procedure at an ASC utilizing PathKeeper Surgical’s system. 

The system uses AI and 3D cameras to provide real-time surgical guidance and eliminates traditional intraoperative CT, according to a Nov. 24 news release from PathKeeper Surgical.

PathKeeper’s system can provide sub-millimetric accuracy for registration and instrument tracking. 

By integrating the system, ASCs can potentially improve safety and efficacy of spine surgeries, Dr. Westmark said.

At the Becker's 23rd Annual Spine, Orthopedic and Pain Management-Driven ASC + The Future of Spine Conference, taking place June 11-13 in Chicago, spine surgeons, orthopedic leaders and ASC executives will come together to explore minimally invasive techniques, ASC growth strategies and innovations shaping the future of outpatient spine care.
