The surgical system, added by the center in August, is typically only found at hospitals. The addition of the system at the surgery center makes it unnecessary for patients to travel farther for treatment.

M. Haris Nazim, MD, regional chairman of the department of surgery and professor at the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center in Lubbock, told the news station that the system minimizes complications and pain while providing a faster recovery time and improved outcomes.

At the Becker's 23rd Annual Spine, Orthopedic and Pain Management-Driven ASC + The Future of Spine Conference, taking place June 18–20 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.
