da Vinci® 5 Robotic Surgery at MHP in Shelbyville, IN
Advanced Technology for Minimally Invasive Procedures
At Major Health Partners (MHP), we are committed to delivering exceptional patient care through the latest innovations in surgical technology. The da Vinci® 5 Surgical System represents a new era in robot-assisted, minimally invasive surgery, giving our highly trained surgeons enhanced precision, control, and visibility during complex procedures.
What Is the da Vinci 5 Surgical System?
The da Vinci 5 is the latest generation of robotic surgical systems, designed to help surgeons perform delicate and complex surgeries through small incisions. It builds upon years of proven technology with even greater enhancements for safety, comfort, and surgical accuracy.
Key features include:
-
3D High-Definition Imaging
Surgeons see a magnified, crystal-clear view of the surgical area, making it easier to spot even the smallest details. -
Real-Time Fluorescence Imaging
This helps identify vital structures—like blood vessels or bile ducts—during surgery for greater safety. -
Flexible Robotic Arms
These highly maneuverable arms provide a wide range of motion for better precision, even in tight or hard-to-reach spaces.
Types of Procedures Performed with da Vinci 5
The da Vinci 5 system is used across several medical specialties to offer safer, more precise surgeries with less downtime, including:
-
Gynecologic Surgery
Including hysterectomies, fibroid removal (myomectomy), and other reproductive health procedures. -
General Surgery
Used for gallbladder removal, hernia repairs, and colorectal surgeries.
How da Vinci 5 Surgery Works
The process begins with small incisions. Through these, a tiny camera and instruments are inserted. The surgeon then guides the instruments from the console, translating hand movements into exact motions inside the body—allowing for delicate tasks like suturing and tissue dissection with greater ease and accuracy.
Why Choose Minimally Invasive Surgery?
Traditional surgery often requires a large incision to access the area being treated. This can lead to longer hospital stays, more pain, and a slower recovery.
Minimally invasive surgery using the da Vinci 5 system offers many advantages:
- Smaller incisions
- Less bleeding
- Lower risk of infection
- Reduced scarring
- Shorter hospital stays
-
Faster return to daily activities
Recovery Time After Robotic Surgery
Recovery from robotic-assisted surgery is typically faster than from traditional open surgery. While healing time can vary based on the procedure and the patient, most people experience:
- Less post-operative pain
- Quicker discharge from the hospital
- A faster return to normal routines
Some patients are able to go home the same day or the day after surgery, and many return to light activity within days instead of weeks or months.
