The procedure is aimed at helping patients with spondylolisthesis, or degenerative disc disease. 

Dr. Matteini, of Geneva, Ill.-based Fox Valley Orthopedics, said her patient traveled from Wisconsin for the procedure, and the next day he only needed over-the-counter pain relief. 

Fox Valley Orthopedics’ ASC has state licensing and is accredited by the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care.

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.
