AdventHealth Sebring unveils leading-edge robotic surgery technology to help patients heal faster, closer to home

SEBRING, Fla. — Patients in Highlands County now have access to one of the most advanced robotic-assisted surgical technologies, the da Vinci 5 system, designed to make surgery less invasive, reduce pain and speed recovery, all without leaving the community.

The da Vinci 5 system, now in use at AdventHealth Sebring, allows surgeons to perform complex procedures with enhanced precision and control, using tiny instruments and high-definition 3D visualization. The surgeon remains fully in control at all times, translating their hand movements into smaller, more precise actions inside the patient’s body which lead to less pain and quicker recovery for patients. The system supports procedures in urology, gynecology, and general surgery, offering more options for those who need specialized care.

“Access to advanced surgical care shouldn’t require traveling far from home. By bringing this leading-edge technology to Sebring and Highlands County, we’re ensuring that families in our community can receive the best possible treatment right here,” AdventHealth Sebring President and CEO Jason Dunkel said. “This investment reflects our commitment to leading in innovation while delivering compassionate, whole-person care that our community can trust.”

Community members recently had the opportunity to check out a demo version of the new medical equipment during a special community event at AdventHealth Sebring.

The new surgical system will be used by several AdventHealth surgeons representing specialties including general surgery, bariatrics, colorectal surgery and obstetrics/gynecology.

Intuitive, which produces the surgical system, said this technology has been built on more than a decade of research and over 14 million successful procedures worldwide.
