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 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.
