The procedure was performed by colorectal surgeon Susan Knoche, MD. In the last 10 years, Summerville has substantially grown its surgical robotics program as part of a $250 million growth project. 

The system now has five minimally invasive robotic surgical systems for general surgery and one spine robotic surgical system.

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.
