In September 2026, American Hospital Dubai, a leader in robotic surgery in the UAE and the region, signed an agreement with Al Naghi Medical, a leading provider of medical devices in the UAE, to acquire the da Vinci 5 robotic surgical system from Intuitive. American Hospital Dubai has played a pioneering role in adopting and advancing robotic-assisted surgery in the Middle East. The da Vinci 5 joins the existing da Vinci systems operated by American Hospital Dubai, which include the da Vinci Xi and the da Vinci SP (Single Port) robotic system, the first in the Middle East. This positions American Hospital Dubai as one of the most comprehensive and advanced robotic surgery platforms in the region, strengthening its role as a centre of excellence for advanced robotic surgery, education, and clinical outcomes.
“American Hospital Dubai is committed to investing in technologies that elevate patient care and surgical excellence. The acquisition of the da Vinci 5 system reflects our strategic vision to remain a regional leader in robotic surgery while expanding our capabilities to perform increasingly complex and delicate procedures with the highest levels of precision and safety.”
— Sherif Beshara, Group CEO of American Hospital Dubai

“Upgrading to four da Vinci 5 systems reflects Huntington Hospital’s commitment to delivering world-class care close to home. Our patients deserve the best that medicine has to offer. With da Vinci 5 technology in our operating rooms, we can broaden access to minimally invasive options that may reduce pain, shorten hospital stays, and help people get back to their lives faster.”
— Nick Fitterman, MD, president of Huntington Hospital
“The da Vinci 5 represents an exciting step forward for our patients and our surgical teams. For complex metabolic and bariatric procedures, stability, visualization, and instrument control truly matter. The da Vinci 5 platform provides a refined, surgeon-centered experience that helps us perform meticulous operations through small incisions, supporting faster recoveries and excellent outcomes for our patients.”
— David Buchin, MD, chairman of the department of surgery and director of metabolic and bariatric surgery at Huntington Hospital

“With the introduction of the Da Vinci 5, we have established a comprehensive multi-platform robotic surgery system encompassing the Xi, SP, and the latest generation platform. This enables the optimal selection of surgical systems tailored to individual patient characteristics and is expected to support more precise and systematic treatment, particularly in cancer and complex disease surgery.”

In May 2026, University Hospitals Dorset (UHD) NHS Foundation Trust received a state-of-the-art surgical robot at Poole Hospital – the Da Vinci 5 (DV5), becoming the first Trust in the South West to have access to this cutting-edge technology.
“I am delighted that we have managed to bring the very latest innovations in robotic surgery to University Hospitals Dorset in the form of the Da Vinci 5 robot. The technology in this system is quite staggering. For the first time it will allow us to feel the tension that is being placed in body tissues as we operate on them. This is likely to reduce strain on body tissues and allow patients to recover faster, with less discomfort. In addition, it will allow some of the most complex surgeries, that previously had to be performed using an open surgical approach, to be performed using minimally invasive surgery. This will allow patients to return to normal function faster. Finally, the new system will allow us to keep and attract the very best surgeons to our hospitals and will allow us to provide well for the surgeons of tomorrow.”
— Dr James Manners, Consultant Urological Surgeon at University Hospitals Dorset in the UK

“The da Vinci 5 surgical system really is the most amazing thing to happen in surgery. With over 150 design enhancements and 10,000 times more computing power than before, our surgeons will be able to use this advanced system to operate more efficiently and help provide better outcomes for patients through less invasive procedures, fewer complications, shorter hospital stays, quicker recovery and reduced re-admissions.”
— Merv Rees, Clinical Director and senior surgeon, Hampshire Hospitals
“Having the ability to perform surgery with the da Vinci 5 surgical system has been transformative. The system offers exceptional dexterity and precision, allowing my hand movements to be translated into remarkably fine, controlled actions by the instruments. At every moment, I remain fully in command. Using this advanced technology allows us to perform highly complex procedures with greater accuracy, minimal invasiveness, and improved recovery times for our patients. This technology enhances what we can offer, ensuring safer surgery, reduced pain, smaller scars, and quicker returns to daily life.”
— Pulkit Sethi, Consultant Hepatobiliary Surgeon, Hampshire Hospitals

“With the move to the new da Vinci 5, we are taking healthcare in Amersfoort to the absolute world top. Robotic surgery is thus evolving from a technical tool to a full-fledged knowledge partner at the operating table. We cannot wait to train new surgeons as soon as possible to learn to work with the new technology.”
— Prof Esther Consten, Surgeon at Meander Medical Centre, and first female professor of robotic surgery in the Netherlands

In October 2025, St. Antonius Hospital in Gronau made medical history with the introduction of the new da Vinci 5 surgical system: its urology clinic is the first in Europe to use the latest and most technologically advanced generation of the da Vinci family. The first patients have already been successfully operated on with the new system – with consistently positive results.
“Our experience over the past few days shows that the system is even more sensitive, the procedures in the operating theatre are more optimised and it is also much more comfortable for us as surgeons to work with. The system gives us more autonomy in the operating theatre and at the same time supports us with intelligent feedback. This allows us to perform our procedures even more precisely and gently for our patients.”
— Dr Christian Wagner, One of the Four Chief Physicians at the Urology Clinic, St. Antonius Hospital in Gronau, Germany

“This console is more ergonomically satisfying for the surgeons, and the tower enhances efficiency for the circulators. We can change those settings immediately for the surgeons, and the surgeon can adjust settings easily on their own. It’s the small, but critical, details that make operating a better experience for all. We’re excited to have this new technology and be the first in Northeast Ohio.”
— Larisa Rebello, Robot Coordinator, UH Cleveland Medical Center
