Timothy Danish, MD, cardiovascular and thoracic surgeon at Christus, and a surgical team used the daVinci XI Surgical System to perform a coronary artery single vessel bypass graft on a 68-year-old male patient, according to a Dec. 20 news release.
“The robotic approach of this procedure minimizes the trauma of the surgery,” Dr. Danish said in the release. “There is a huge benefit to not having a full sternotomy, having the chest fully opened during the procedure. We anticipate that it will lead to a quicker recovery, a shorter hospital stay, and less pain for the patient.”
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.
