Shelbyville, IN – January 27, 2025 – On Thursday, January 23rd, Major Health Partners (MHP) completed its first-ever hernia repair surgery using robotics. Dr. Vincent Gemma led the procedure, with the help of the MHP General Surgery team and our skilled operating room (OR) staff. They used Intuitive's Da Vinci 5 robotic system, which allows doctors to perform surgeries with more precision and smaller cuts.

The Da Vinci 5 is a type of robot that helps with different surgeries, like hernia repairs and gallbladder removals. Using this system helps patients recover faster and have less pain after surgery. MHP is excited to offer this advanced technology to its patients. The hospital plans to use the Da Vinci 5 in more surgeries in the future. This will allow MHP to continue improving care and helping patients heal more quickly.

We are dedicated to providing the best care to our community by using the latest technology and we are continually working on improving our services!
