dv5 in foco
My priority is making surgery as easy and stress-free as possible for my patients. That’s why I’m excited to introduce the da Vinci 5 (dV5) robotic surgical system—the latest and most advanced robotic surgery technology available. And here’s something exciting—Banner Fort Collins Medical Center is the first hospital in Northern Colorado to have the dV5, meaning my patients have access to cutting-edge surgical technology right here at home.

What Does the da Vinci 5 Mean for You as a Patient?
If you’re facing surgery, you probably have a lot of questions—How long will recovery take? How much pain will I be in? Will I have a big scar? The da Vinci 5 is designed to make the entire experience easier, less painful, and with a quicker recovery compared to traditional surgery. With this advanced robotic system, your procedure will be more precise, involve smaller incisions, and result in less pain and scarring. Many procedures that once required long hospital stays can now be done on an outpatient basis, getting you back to your life sooner.
Intuitive Surgical has been at the forefront of soft-tissue robotics for decades.
As this technology becomes more accessible, more and more patients can benefit.
A Smoother, Faster Recovery
One of the biggest concerns for any patient undergoing surgery is the recovery process. The dV5 helps with that in a big way. Because the procedure is minimally invasive, there’s less trauma to surrounding tissues, which means less pain, less blood loss, and a lower risk of complications. That translates to a quicker return to normal activities—whether that means getting back to work, exercising, or simply enjoying time with family.
The first dV5 in the region, patients now have access to the latest technological advances in complex abdominal surgery.
The Best Possible Outcomes for Abdominal Surgery
The da Vinci 5 isn’t just for one or two types of procedures—it’s a powerful tool that can assist with almost any abdominal surgery. Whether it’s gallbladder surgery, hernia repair, or more complex procedures involving the intestines or other organs, robotic-assisted techniques allow for greater precision, reduced risk of complications, and improved long-term outcomes.
Accessing the Latest Surgical Advancements in Northern Colorado
Having access to the da Vinci 5 at Banner Fort Collins Medical Center means my patients can receive state-of-the-art surgical care right here in Northern Colorado. Whether you're dealing with gallbladder disease, a hernia, or another condition requiring surgery, robotic-assisted techniques can help make your experience smoother and your recovery faster.
