Lubbock, Texas-based Covenant High Plains Surgery Center has become the first ASC in the region to perform a robotic sacrocolpopexy using the da Vinci X robot.
Sacrocolpopexy treats pelvic organ prolapse and typically involves a six to eight-inch incision in the patient's abdomen.
The da Vinci robot offers a smaller incision, faster recovery, less pain and a decreased risk of infection, according to an Aug. 9 press release.
