Oath Surgical Performs First Outpatient Robotic Prostatectomy in the U.S. Pacific Northwest
Landmark procedure shows outpatient surgery can deliver high quality outcomes at a fraction of the cost
Oath Surgical today announced the successful completion of the first robotic prostatectomy performed in an outpatient surgery center in the U.S. Pacific Northwest. The procedure, performed at Oath's surgery center in Beaverton, Oregon, by urologic surgeon Dr. David Jiang of The Oregon Clinic, is an important milestone in Oath's mission to transform surgical care through a payment model built around better outcomes, patient value, surgeon-led clinical innovation, and technology-enabled outpatient surgical care. Performing this type of surgery in the outpatient setting can save as much as $20,000 per case, savings that reach patients directly as well as the payors who cover the cost of their care.
"We built Oath to prove that when surgeons are empowered with the right infrastructure, data, and incentives, they can deliver extraordinary care and outcomes at a fraction of the cost," said Oliver Keown, MD, Founder and CEO of Oath Surgical. "This landmark procedure reflects the power of aligning surgeons, employers, and health plans around the opportunity to bring more complex procedures into the outpatient setting."
