A recent procedure was performed by Mohammed Abdallah, DO, a board-certified vascular surgeon, on a patient with carotid artery disease, according to a release shared with Becker’s on June 16. The hospital is one of the first in south Florida to offer the procedure.

“Due to his underlying conditions, Mr. Cegielski was a prime candidate for TCAR,” Dr. Abdallah said. “With this patient-friendly technique, I was able to make a much smaller incision, alleviate inherent risk factors and decrease the probability of nerve damage.”

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.
