The ASC is the first in the Dayton region to offer outpatient, robotic-assisted knee replacement surgery.

Carrie Carusone, RN, joint and spine program director at the surgery center, told the Dayton Daily News that she expects the ASC will perform close to 200 procedures in 2023 with DePuy Synthes’ Velys robot. The surgery center also expects to quadruple the number of joint replacements they did five years ago. 

“There is a large need, and as the baby boomer population is aging that need has just exponentially increased,” Ms. Carusone told the Dayton Daily News

Greater Dayton Surgery Center expects to hit at least 600 joint replacements in 2023.

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.
