Moon Surgical Explains Scalable Surgery™

Recorded in Paris, Surgical Robotics Technology founder Josef de Pfeiffer speaks with Jeffery Alvarez, Chief Strategy Officer at Moon Surgical. The subject is Scalable Surgery.

Moon Surgical describes it as an industry wide mandate, a response to the pressures facing healthcare today: rising procedure volumes, constrained budgets and staffing, and a model of surgical robotics that remains out of reach for the majority of operating rooms. Alvarez sets out what the term means, why the industry has arrived at this point, and what a scalable alternative requires in practice.

The discussion covers the structural limits of the surgical industry today, the migration of procedures into ambulatory and outpatient settings, and how that shift is changing what surgeons and surgical teams need from technology. Alvarez also explains why partnerships across the industry are central to the Scalable Surgery model rather than incidental to it.

The interview closes on the benefits for surgeons and patients, and on what has to happen for Scalable Surgery to become an established category in its own right.
