Great way to close out my travel for the year with an incredible trip to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia for the Robotic Surgery Collaboration Summit. This meeting embodies collaboration, bringing together so many talented robotic surgeons from all over the world to share and learn from each other. I was honored to be part of a great session on Robotic Updates sharing my experience with >500 procedures using daVinci 5.
We were welcomed with incredible hospitality, experienced amazing food, culture, while surrounded by beautiful architecture, old and new. Thanks to Yusef Kudsi for the invitation.

I had a wonderful time at the 2025 Finnish Operative Days in Helsinki. 🇫🇮 It was an honor to share our U.S. experience with da Vinci Emergency Colon Surgery and to discuss the “how and why” behind building an Acute Care Robotics program aimed at improving health equity.

I especially enjoyed meeting and learning from colleagues from Finland and Belgium. 🇫🇮🇧🇪🇺🇸
Despite being thousands of miles apart, we share the same mission: expanding access to minimally invasive care for all patients.

A heartfelt thank-you to the Intuitive Nordic team for another excellent trip and an inspiring meeting.

It was such a pleasure to host the team from Good Samaritan Hospital. They’re in the process of building their own robotic surgery program and joined us at Adventist Health Simi Valley for a full day of case observations both in person and utilizing Intuitive Telepresence. We were able to highlight efficiency and best practices. I feel truly honored to work alongside such a dedicated OR team—one that embraces innovation and new technology and shares openly with the common goal of delivering the best outcomes for patients everywhere.
