The procedure is reportedly the first of its kind at a freestanding ASC in Massachusetts or Rhode Island. 

Dr. Marchand operated with Stryker’s Mako SmartRobotics, which is designed to improve surgical precision, personalization and outcomes for patients undergoing knee and hip replacements. 

The robot combines 3D, CT-based planning, AccuStop haptic technology and data analytics for total knee, total hip and partial knee patients.

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.
