Overview

This fall are excited to be the first and only hospital in Riverside County to have a Da Vinci 5 robot. This newest model has more than 150 design innovations, including force feedback technology, which allows the surgeon to 'feel' inside the body in a way that was not possible with prior models. The advancements also include higher resolution 3D images, better ergonomics and more real-time data during the surgery.
