Robotic Surgery Revolutionized: No Need for Open Surgery! The da Vinci surgical system is set to enhance surgical capabilities with new features. Will this truly become a reality?
On January 27, 2026, at 15:29, the financial app New Wave Finance reported the latest developments in robotic surgery. Recently, the U.S. FDA approved the latest version of the da Vinci surgical system (da Vinci 5), which is designed for minimally invasive surgery. This system will officially launch on January 26 and is intended for use in procedures such as cardiac valve repair and reconstructive surgery. This marks the first time the da Vinci system has officially received an upgrade for cardiac surgery applications.
According to the FDA, the da Vinci system has already completed over 140,000 cardiac procedures. The system’s computational power has increased significantly, allowing for more efficient operations. Each year, around 180,000 people die from heart-related diseases, and more than 200,000 patients are expected to benefit from this advanced surgical technology.
Robotic systems, particularly for minimally invasive cardiac surgery, have shown to reduce recovery times significantly. The latest system is also a crucial step in the evolution of robotic surgery technology.
Notably, since 2002, the da Vinci system has been the first generation of robotic systems used in specialized cardiac surgeries. However, due to limitations in the first generation’s technology and support infrastructure, the focus has primarily been on transferring expertise from external cardiac specialists.
In a statement from an external physician familiar with the first financial report, it was noted, “Surgical robots will enhance the capabilities of external physicians, allowing them to perform surgeries with greater precision and efficiency.”
Moving forward, the current upgrade uses a robust platform for the robotic system. The focus will primarily be on enhancing the da Vinci 5’s capabilities, with projections for the production of 160,000 surgical robots annually in the future.
Robotic surgery is becoming increasingly prominent in medical advancements. As reported by the healthcare organization, by 2026, the number of da Vinci robotic surgeries is expected to grow by 13% to 15% annually.
Recently, technological advancements have also been made in robotic surgery capabilities. Experts predict that within three years, robotic systems will surpass human capabilities, and within four years, they will reach a level comparable to human surgeons in advanced settings.
This progression in robotic surgery technology is crucial for its acceptance and integration into modern medical practices. As the field continues to evolve, the potential for robotic systems to perform complex surgical tasks is set to increase significantly.
The healthcare industry is optimistic about the future of robotic surgery, and as technology advances, it is expected that robotic systems will play a vital role in enhancing surgical outcomes.
