Saint Francis Hosts “Test Drive” Event for da Vinci 5 Surgical System

Saint Francis hosted a two-day “Test Drive” event for Intuitive’s da Vinci 5 robotic-assisted surgical system, the most advanced platform available by the company. Surgeons and operating room staff were able to test drive the system and see the advances in technology. In addition, leadership, board members, and donors were invited to the event to learn more about robotic-assisted surgery and how it helps surgeons at Saint Francis provide high-quality, safe care to their patients.

“The da Vinci 5 system revolutionizes surgery, enhancing patient care quality and significantly reducing hospital stays,” said Kurt Roberts, M.D., Chair of the Department of Surgery at Saint Francis. “This represents the next step in surgical evolution, enabling surgeons to provide superior patient care and significantly improves both quality and outcomes.”
