Surgeons at Baltimore-based MedStar Union Memorial Hospital collectively surpassed 1,000 robot-assisted spine surgeries since 2021, according to an April 7 news release.
Paul Asdourian, MD; Bradley Moatz, MD, and Zan Naseer, MD, are among the surgeons who use the spine robot, an ExcelsiusGPS system. The robot helps surgeons plan procedures and guide them with real-time imaging for minimally invasive spinal fusions.
“This milestone represents more than a number,” Henry Boucher, MD, vice president of Medical Operations for MedStar Medical Group, said in the release. “It shows years of focus on advancing spine care in ways that directly help patients. By investing early in robotic technology and building expertise, we can offer safer, more precise procedures and support faster recovery.”
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.
