Simplifying operations: How two systems are reimagining soft tissue robotics in the outpatient setting


Thursday, October 23rd, 2025 | 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM CT 

Robot-assisted surgery has traditionally meant tradeoffs: complex systems, steep learning curves and prohibitive costs— especially in outpatient environments.

But that’s starting to change.

Join physicians from UC San Diego Health and Memorial Hermann Health System to learn how they are approaching robotic soft tissue surgery differently — simplifying operations to unlock access  in ASCs and other outpatient settings while addressing challenges such as costly infrastructure and complex integrations.

Join the discussion to learn:
 
  • What’s changed — and why outpatient robotic adoption is accelerating in soft tissue
  • How real teams are evaluating robotic ROI in an outpatient environment
  • Why simplicity, not complexity, may be the key to robotic program growth
