Robotic procedures offer patients faster recovery times, reduced blood loss and reduced postoperative pain. 

The inaugural Da Vinci procedure was performed by Jayme Stokes, MD, a bariatric and general surgeon. 

At the Becker's 23rd Annual Spine, Orthopedic and Pain Management-Driven ASC + The Future of Spine Conference, taking place June 11-13 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.
