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 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.
