Ahmad Abou Abbass, MD, performed the first procedure with the device at the Mission Surgery Center. 

The da Vinci Xi robot helps surgeons make smaller incisions in minimally invasive surgery, which allows patients to recover faster with less scarring.

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.
