Westwood, NJ — Pascack Valley Medical Center is proud to announce the acquisition of the da Vinci 5® robotic surgical system, the latest innovation in minimally invasive surgery from Intuitive Surgical. This advanced technology enhances the hospital’s ability to provide precision care for a wide range of procedures, including gynecological, urological, bariatric, general surgeries, and more.
The da Vinci surgical system enables patients to undergo minimally invasive procedures with significant benefits, including reduced blood loss, shorter hospital stays, faster recovery, and less post-operative pain. Many procedures can be performed on an outpatient basis, allowing patients to return to daily activities more quickly while minimizing surgical risks. “The da Vinci 5® allows us to perform complex procedures with greater accuracy and control while minimizing trauma to surrounding tissues. Patients benefit from shorter recovery times and fewer complications, enabling them to return to their lives more quickly,” said Yitzhack Asulin, M.D., medical director of Robotic Surgery at Pascack Valley Medical Center. “As a center of excellence in robotic surgery, we offer advanced gynecological procedures, including surgery for endometriosis, fibroids, and prolapse.”
The minimally invasive capabilities of the da Vinci 5® align with Pascack Valley Medical Center’s commitment to providing high-quality, patient-centered care. This cutting-edge technology reduces hospital stays and enhances patient experiences while supporting surgeons of all experience levels with actionable insights and streamlined workflows.
