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 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.
