Michael Fabrizio, MD, performed the robotic radical prostatectomy with the da Vinci Xi robot, which helps surgeons make smaller incisions in minimally invasive surgery, allowing patients to recover faster with less scarring. Dr. Fabrizio’s practice, Urology of Virginia, will be celebrating its 100-year anniversary in 2022. 

Chesapeake Regional Surgery Center at Virginia Beach is one of two Chesapeake Regional ASCs.

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.
