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 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.
