Williamsville, N.Y.-based Northtown Ambulatory Surgery Center, a joint venture between Buffalo, N.Y.-based surgeons and Buffalo-based Kaleida Health Ventures, has become the first ASC in the U.S. to add Distalmotion’s Dexter robotic surgery system.
The device will help the ASC to improve its workflows and deliver minimally invasive care with less cost and improved precision, according to a March 27 news release.
Dexter is a soft tissue surgical robot that is compatible with current surgical technology and adaptable to future advancements, the release said.
In the U.S., Dexter is cleared for use in laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair, with further indications in Europe.
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.
