In 2015, Chesapeake’s Advanced Kidney Stone Program was reportedly the first in the world to perform this minimally invasive procedure for the removal of complex kidney stone as an outpatient procedure in an ASC, the release said. 

The program is led by Julio Davalos, MD, who works mainly from Chesapeake Urology’s ASC. To date, Dr. Davalos and the Advanced Kidney Stone Program have performed more than 2,500 PCNL and over 1,500 tubeless PCNL surgeries.

Chesapeake Urology operates 25 medical offices and 18 accredited ASCs.

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.
