One of the hottest topics in general surgery right now is the evolution of acute care surgery with the da Vinci platform—and how dV5 is expanding access and capability for so many surgeons.
I had the privilege of serving as faculty again this year at the 10th Annual Intuitive CONNECT2026 meeting, with more than 1,200 surgeons from across the country in attendance. Through a shared vision and strong partnership with Intuitive, we are continuing to transform patient care by driving innovation and meaningful collaboration.
I was honored to present on robotic inguinal hernia repair as well as emergency small bowel techniques. A major focus of discussion was how dv5 Telepresence technology is enabling real-time collaboration between surgeons—bringing a new dimension to how we learn from and support one another.
Beyond the science and innovation, this meeting always offers the opportunity to reconnect with colleagues and build new relationships. This year was especially meaningful, as my parents were in the audience and got
to see my passion firsthand.
