The operation was performed by Adolfo Viloria, MD, a neurosurgeon with the WVU Rockefeller Neuroscience Institute, according to a Jan. 2 press release. 

Endoscopic spine surgery treats various spinal conditions, such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis and chronic back pain. The approach reduces scarring, minimizes postoperative pain and accelerates recovery compared to traditional open surgery.

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.
