American Hospital Dubai has solidified its position as a regional leader in surgical innovation through a landmark partnership with Al Naghi Medical, the UAE’s premier medical device provider. This strategic collaboration will introduce the Middle East’s first da Vinci 5 robotic surgical system, representing a quantum leap in surgical technology from Intuitive, the global pioneer in robotic-assisted surgery.
The agreement builds upon the hospital’s established reputation as the region’s most comprehensive robotic surgery center, which already operates both da Vinci Xi and the Middle East’s exclusive Single Port (SP) robotic systems. The integration of da Vinci 5 establishes an unprecedented surgical platform that positions Dubai at the forefront of medical technology adoption.
The fifth-generation system introduces revolutionary advancements including groundbreaking Force Feedback technology, enabling surgeons to physically sense tissue pressure during procedures—a first in robotic surgery. This tactile feedback mechanism promises enhanced tissue handling precision and accelerated patient recovery timelines.
Additional technological marvels include ultra-high-definition 3D visualization with unprecedented clarity, computational power increased by a factor of 10,000 compared to previous models, and completely redesigned ergonomic consoles that optimize surgeon comfort during extended procedures. These collective innovations work synergistically to minimize tissue trauma while maximizing surgical accuracy.
The expanded robotic portfolio will enable tailored surgical approaches across numerous specialties, particularly enhancing capabilities in complex minimally invasive procedures. The hospital simultaneously reinforces its role as an educational hub for advanced surgical training in the region.
Roudaina Haddad, Deputy Group CEO and Chief Operating Officer, emphasized the institution’s commitment: ‘Our investment in da Vinci 5 technology reflects our strategic vision to maintain leadership in robotic surgery while expanding our capacity for highly complex procedures with unmatched precision and safety.’
Mona Qaisi of Al Naghi Medical noted: ‘This partnership embodies our shared mission to advance surgical care standards throughout the Middle East by supporting institutions that embrace transformative medical technologies.’
