The Endoluminal Surgical System allows patients to undergo upper and lower gastrointestinal surgery with internal incisions that do not cause scarring, according to an Aug. 31 news release from EndoQuest.

“The EndoQuest System is the world’s first fully robotic platform specifically designed for gastrointestinal tract surgery and can enable endoscopists to perform many procedures that are very challenging or not possible today,” Christopher Thompson, MD, professor of medicine and director of endoscopy at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, said in the release.

 

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.
