A team of surgeons at UC San Diego Health have become the first in the U.S. to use Distalmotion’s Dexter surgical robot in the outpatient setting.
The robot, which earned FDA clearance just 30 days ago, was used for two adult inguinal hernia repairs on Nov. 26, according to a Dec. 3 news release.
Over 90% of hernia repairs are currently performed in the ASC setting, and the new robot is specifically tailored for those environments.
The robot’s design and form factor are both small, making it well-suited to outpatient environments.
