St. Vincent’s Robotic Joint Center, a part of the hospital’s Spine and Orthopedic Institute, will offer outpatient surgery at both the hospital’s flagship location and its ASC, the Brainard Surgery Center, in Lyndhurst, Ohio. 

The program started as a national trial to test Think Surgical’s TSolution total knee replacement active robot. St. Vincent is the first hospital in Ohio to implement this technology for total knee replacement, according to Cleveland Jewish News. 

The center is now accepting patients and could see surgeries begin as early as this month.

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. Apply for complimentary registration now.
