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 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.
