da Vinci 5 Surgical System
At Singing River, we are proud to be the only Robotic Surgery Center of Excellence on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Our surgical team uses the most advanced minimally invasive surgical robot available—the da Vinci 5 robotic surgical system from Intuitive Surgical.
The Latest Technology in Minimally Invasive Surgery
With the da Vinci 5, our surgeons can perform delicate procedures with smaller incisions, greater precision, and better visualization than ever before. Patients experience less pain, faster recovery, and better outcomes.
What Makes the da Vinci 5 Different
The da Vinci 5 represents a major leap forward in robotic surgery technology. Every upgrade in computing, precision, and feedback directly benefits Singing River patients.
Smarter Tech That Grows With AI
10,000 times more computing power helps deliver actionable insights that help surgeons improve their performance over time.
Surgeons Sense Push and Pull
“Force feedback” allows surgeons to feel pressure they apply to tissues as they would in open surgery.
Unmatched Dexterity
da Vinci’s robotic instruments offer precision far beyond what’s possible with the human hand.
Immersive 3D Views
The surgeon’s console provides a high-definition, magnified 3D image of the surgical area.
Surgeries Performed With the da Vinci 5
At Singing River, our da Vinci 5 system is used across multiple specialties to perform delicate procedures through tiny incisions. Below are some of the procedures we offer using the da Vinci 5 Surgical System:
Urology
Robotic technology allows for greater precision around delicate structures, helping protect vital nerves and improve recovery. Common urologic procedures include:
- Bladder reconstruction or cystectomy
- Prostatectomy (for prostate cancer)
- Partial or total nephrectomy (kidney tumor removal)
- Pyeloplasty (repair of ureteral blockage)
- Adrenalectomy
Gynecology
Robotic surgery allows many women’s health procedures to be performed through small incisions with excellent precision and minimal recovery time. Common gynecologic procedures include:
- Sacrocolpopexy or prolapse repair
- Hysterectomy (uterus removal)
- Myomectomy (fibroid removal)
- Endometriosis excision
- Ovarian cystectomy
Colon & Rectal
The da Vinci 5 helps colorectal surgeons see deep into the pelvis and perform highly complex procedures with less trauma. Common colorectal procedures include:
- Surgery for diverticulitis or inflammatory bowel disease
- Colectomy (colon removal)
- Low anterior resection (rectal cancer surgery)
- Rectopexy (rectal prolapse repair)
Weight Loss
For patients undergoing bariatric surgery or upper GI procedures, the da Vinci 5 offers precise control and improved visualization in confined areas. Common procedures include:
- Vertical sleeve gastrectomy (gastric sleeve)
- Gastric bypass
- Revisions for previous weight loss procedures
General Surgery
For many common procedures, the da Vinci 5 allows surgeons to operate with smaller incisions and faster recovery times. Common general surgeries include:
- Excision of soft tissue masses
- Hernia repair (inguinal, ventral, or umbilical)
- Gallbladder removal (cholecystectomy)
- Appendectomy
- Abdominal wall repair
- Anti-reflux surgery (fundoplication)
Benefits of da Vinci 5 Robotic Surgery
The enhancements made to the latest model benefit our patients in the following ways:
- Smaller incisions and minimal scarring
- Less pain and blood loss
- Lower risk of infection
- Shorter hospital stays
- Faster return to normal activity
- Greater precision and control for surgeons
- Gentler tissue handling thanks to force feedback
- World-class technology, right here on the Mississippi Gulf Coast
Choose Singing River for Your Surgical Procedure
You don’t need to travel to New Orleans or Mobile for the most advanced robotic surgery. It’s available right here at Singing River—the Mississippi Gulf Coast’s only robotic surgery Center of Excellence.
If you’ve been told you need surgery, ask your doctor whether da Vinci robotic surgery is right for you. Many procedures that once required large incisions can now be done with greater precision and faster recovery.
Schedule a surgical consultation with one of our board-certified, SRC Surgeons of Excellence by having your doctor refer you to Singing River Surgical Services.
