Moon Surgical's Maestro System Makes Global Debut at Surgeon's Point Surgery Center

Global Debut of the Maestro System at Surgeon's Point Surgery Center

In an impressive advancement for laparoscopic surgical technology, Moon Surgical has announced the successful treatment of the first 20 patients utilizing its cutting-edge Maestro™ digital surgical assistant at the Surgeon's Point Surgery Center. This facility, located in Cedar Park, Texas, is now recognized as the first Ambulatory Surgery Center (ASC) in the world to employ the Maestro System, marking a significant milestone in the evolution of surgical practices.

The inaugural procedures conducted using the Maestro involved a variety of complex surgeries, including cholecystectomy, gastric sleeve, gastric bypass, and lap band removal. The talented team at Surgeon's Point, led by Dr. Eric Acheson, Dr. Eric Lough, and Dr. Nancy Marquez—with Dr. Sashi Ganta executing the very first Maestro case— showcased not only their surgical expertise but also the system's transformative capabilities in a real-world setting.

Dr. Sashi Ganta, a bariatric and foregut surgeon at the center, expressed his enthusiastic endorsement of the Maestro, stating, "While we don't have consistent surgical assistants, which tends to add variability in case time and performance, Maestro serves as a reliable assistant, streamlining the surgical process." He emphasized that the system integrates seamlessly into the ASC’s workflow—a crucial factor in ensuring efficiency in these specialized environments.

The Maestro System boasts a user-friendly design, enabling surgeons to easily learn and implement it into their practices. Its architecture not only optimizes the surgical flow but also enhances resource utilization, thus improving economic viability in healthcare settings. Dr. Ganta's insight into the innovation came rife with optimism, as he noted its effectiveness in delivering greater predictability during laparoscopic interventions—a key advantage in surgical procedures where precision is paramount.

Anne Osdoit, CEO of Moon Surgical, reflected on this historic moment, stating, "It is thrilling to witness the talented team at Surgeon's Point make history in the ASC space by adopting Maestro for their patients." Osdoit highlighted this achievement as a testament to Maestro's readiness for commercial introduction and its unique capacity to elevate surgical practices across Ambulatory Surgery Centers, promising advancements without compromise.

Surgeon's Point Surgery Center was founded in January 2024 by a dedicated group of surgeons intent on revolutionizing patient care, offering autonomy to their peers, and refining the healthcare landscape in the greater Austin area. As a vital component of the HealthCrest Surgical Partners network, Surgeon's Point is positioned as a leader in the management and development of surgical centers.

Moon Surgical, with its headquarters in Paris and San Francisco, is diligently working towards redefining the future of operating rooms to ensure efficiency, sustainability, and digital transformation. The synergy between Maestro and the intelligent insights it offers empowers healthcare teams to make well-informed decisions, significantly contributing to a higher quality of surgical care for patients.

Since its inception in 2020, Moon Surgical has prided itself on fostering a culture of innovation and inclusivity, adapting dynamically to industry demands while nurturing a creative collaborative environment among its diverse team.

In summary, the successful launch of the Maestro System at Surgeon's Point Surgery Center not only symbolizes a leap forward in laparoscopic surgery but also lays a foundation for enhanced surgical practices that prioritize patient care and operational efficiency. With this pioneering step, Moon Surgical is indeed inspiring and innovating the art of surgery.
