First Impressions of the New da Vinci 5 Robotic Platform and Experience in Performing Robot-assisted Radical Prostatectomy.

ABSTRACT: Over the past two decades, robotic surgery has seen substantial advances, with significant growth in novel platforms, particularly since 2019. As a high-volume center experienced with various robotic systems, we share our initial impressions of the new da Vinci 5 platform for robot-assisted radical prostatectomy. Key improvements include enhanced console ergonomics, more precise operative imaging, and the integration of smart commands for streamlined surgical control. Notably, force feedback instruments offer the potential for reduced tissue trauma, although further studies are needed to evaluate long-term outcomes and cost effectiveness. Our early experiences suggest that surgeons familiar with previous da Vinci models, particularly the Xi platform, will find the transition to the da Vinc
