Saratoga Hospital announced the addition of the da Vinci 5, the most advanced robotic surgical system available, marking a major milestone in the hospital’s commitment to providing leading-edge, patient-centered care.
Saratoga Hospital is among the first hospitals in the region to bring this next-generation technology into clinical use.
The da Vinci 5 represents a significant leap forward in surgical innovation. Its enhanced ergonomics, improved visualization, and dramatically faster energy generator are designed to improve surgical precision, reduce operation time, and support smoother instrument exchanges. This enhances the patient experience, particularly for complex cases.
“Introducing the da Vinci 5 elevates our surgical capabilities and reinforces our dedication to delivering the highest quality care close to home,” said Jill VanKuren, President, and CEO of Saratoga Hospital. “This technology supports our surgeons with new levels of precision and control, and it opens the door to safer, more efficient procedures for patients across our community.”
“We are always looking for ways to advance the care we provide, especially for patients with complex needs,” said Dr. Seth Capello, Director of Robotic Surgery at Saratoga Hospital.
“These enhancements allow us to perform delicate procedures with even greater confidence and control, which ultimately benefits our patients. It’s an exciting step forward for our program.”
While the da Vinci 5 adds exciting new capabilities, all of our da Vinci systems continue to deliver precise, high-quality surgical care we are known for. For patients, the benefits of robotic-assisted surgery may include smaller incisions, less pain, shorter hospital stays, and faster recovery. These are all important advantages that align with Saratoga Hospital’s focus on quality outcomes and exceptional patient experience.
