(Rapid City, SD) — Rapid City’s Same Day Surgery Center is set to launch a new robotic surgery program, letting patients stay local for advanced procedures. It’s the first da Vinci 5 robotic system in western South Dakota, which offers surgeons better precision and depth perception during surgery. This technology means less pain and faster recovery for patients, who no longer need to travel to places like Sioux Falls or Denver. Doctors say having care nearby also makes follow-up easier with familiar faces and local support.
