The augmented reality procedure was performed by William Kunkle, DO, a minimally invasive spine specialist who first joined the HCA system in early February. 

The AR navigation system provides surgeons with better accuracy and visualization capabilities during spine surgery, allowing them to see a patient’s anatomy in real time. 

It also offers patients improved outcomes and faster recovery times. 

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.
