Ngenuity, the digitally assisted program, both enhances the way the surgery is performed and allows for the surgeon to be more comfortable. By attaching a camera to the microscope itself, the surgeon is able to sit straight up and perform the procedure through a 3D screen.
“It is a very capable system, allowing us to sit more ergonomically by not putting as much wear and tear on the surgeon,” said Patrick Kelley, MD, ophthalmologist at Columbus Surgery Center. “Yet, we can still maintain high surgical professionalism and exceptionalism.”
The new technology was funded by the Columbus Community Hospital Foundation. Ngenuity is also used at facilities in Lincoln and Omaha, Neb.
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.
