Before surgery, the ROSA system creates a 3D model of a patient’s knee through a series of X-rays, allowing the surgeon to tailor the operation to the patient’s anatomy. During the procedure, the robot’s movements are guided by a camera and optical trackers attached to the patient’s leg.
Surgeons at Vidant SurgiCenter performed seven operations with the robot in its first week, according to the report.
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.
