O‘ahu’s Only Hospital With the da Vinci 5 Surgical System

O’ahu residents can now access the newest generation of robotic-assisted surgical technology without traveling off island. Adventist Health Castle is the only hospital on O’ahu offering the da Vinci 5 surgical system, expanding access to advanced minimally invasive procedures while allowing patients to receive care and recover close to home.

Advanced surgical care close to home

The investment reflects Adventist Health Castle’s commitment to bringing advanced care to the communities it serves. For many patients, robotic-assisted surgery can mean smaller incisions, less pain, shorter hospital stays, and a quicker return to daily activities.

“We’re committed to ensuring our community doesn’t have to leave O’ahu to access the latest advances in care,” said Chase Aalborg, president of Adventist Health Castle. “The da Vinci 5 represents an investment in the health of our community, giving patients access to innovative treatment options and supporting the high-quality care they deserve.”

Expertise behind the technology

Adventist Health Castle’s robotic surgery team includes specially trained surgeons in general surgery, bariatric surgery, gynecology, and urology, including Dr. Kai Yamaguchi, Dr. Steven Fowler, Dr. Steven Kim, Dr. Tricia Song, and Dr. Kenneth Witmer. The da Vinci 5 supports a wide range of minimally invasive procedures and provides surgeons with enhanced capabilities while keeping them fully in control throughout the operation.

As the only hospital on O’ahu offering the da Vinci 5 surgical system Adventist Health Castle continues to invest in the people, technology, and specialized services that help strengthen the future of healthcare in Hawai’i.
