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 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.
