While robotic and traditional laparoscopic surgical techniques achieve comparable patient outcomes, hospitals can often overuse robotic techniques, potentially hurting their bottom line.

During a webinar hosted by Olympus Corporation of the Americas, Kevin M. Audlin, MD, co-director of the Endometriosis Center at Mercy Medical Center in Baltimore, will share how he expanded his referral base and solidified his role as a low-cost, high-value provider in his network by using more cost efficient advanced technologies in lieu of robotics.

Tune in to discover the various clinical and academic benefits of these advanced — yet lower cost — surgical technologies.

The webinar is scheduled for Monday, Dec. 12 from 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm CT. To register, click here.
