Introducing the da Vinci 5 Surgical System
Iowa Specialty Hospitals & Clinics is pleased to announce the recent acquisition* of the Intuitive da Vinci 5® surgical system, designed with the goal of further advancing technology used in minimally invasive care. Da Vinci 5 is Intuitive’s most advanced and integrated platform—designed to transform surgery to enable better outcomes, efficiency, and actionable insights. The da Vinci 5® surgical system can be used for minimally invasive surgical procedures such as urology, gynecology, and general surgeries.
Dr. Danielle McMillen, a general surgeon at Iowa Specialty Hospitals & Clinics, feels that the value of robotic surgery is the combination of enhanced visualization and precision with a minimally invasive approach. She stated, “It gives me another option to safely and effectively treat patients while tailoring the operation to their individual needs. Most importantly, having this technology available locally means patients can have access to advanced surgical care without having to travel to a larger medical center.”
With more than 150 new design innovations, da Vinci 5 expands upon core da Vinci system features, including wristed instruments, 3DHD visualization, intuitive motion, and an ergonomic design. As with all da Vinci surgical systems, the surgeon is 100% in control of the robotic-assisted da Vinci system, which translates their hand movements into smaller, more precise movements of tiny instruments inside the patient’s body.
“We are thrilled to be a leader in this field and look forward to continually bringing Belmond advanced minimally invasive surgical options,” stated Steve Simonin, President and CEO of Iowa Specialty Hospitals & Clinics.
