UnityPoint Health - St. Luke’s Hospital in Cedar Rapids, Iowa and Dr. Jonathan Rippentrop, urologist from Physicians' Clinic of Iowa are once again pioneering robotic surgery utilizing single port (SP) robotics – as the first and only hospital in the state with this technology – adding it in 2019.
The da Vinci Single Port SP, was initially released to a limited number of hospitals in the world. At St. Luke’s the da Vinci SP is used for certain urologic procedures including prostatectomies and nephrectomies.
With the da Vinci SP surgeons operate using one small (about one inch) incision before deploying the robot’s surgical instruments through a single port. The ability to enter the body using a single port enables surgeons to perform more complex procedures. This minimally invasive surgery improves patient outcomes and recovery time. This is particularly noticeable in cancer cases, where surgeons can now access more narrow spaces without compromising precision.
To operate using the da Vinci surgeons use a special console with hand and foot controls to move the robot arm and manipulate the surgical instruments. A small, 3D-HD flexible camera helps surgeons see and perform the surgery. The robot translates the surgeons’ natural hand motions at the control console into corresponding movements of the robotic instrument.
Prior to the implementation of the da Vinci SP, a robotic prostatectomy surgery typically involved five to six dime-sized incisions in the patient’s abdomen to insert the minimally invasive instruments. Prior to robotic surgery, patients would undergo open surgery, which required significantly larger incisions and a longer recovery period. Patients that have robotic surgery can resume normal activities in a matter of weeks rather than months.
Dr. Rippentrop has been a pioneer in robotic surgery and was one of the first surgeons to operate using the surgical robot in 2005, when St. Luke’s was the first hospital in Cedar Rapids to acquire the system.
Surgeons at St. Luke’s perform 15 types of minimally invasive procedures. The robots are used for general, gynecology and urology surgeries at St. Luke’s.

As part of its commitment as a leader in providing the most comprehensive and cutting-edge heart care to Eastern Iowans, UnityPoint Health – St. Luke’s Hospital is investing $25 million in expanding its Heart and Vascular services within the Nassif Heart Center to support the innovation and expertise of the largest group of cardiovascular providers and continue to offer the most advanced heart care in Cedar Rapids.
Featured speakers in order of appearance:
- Dr. Richard Kettelkamp, medical director of St. Luke's Heart Care Services
- Michelle Niermann, president and CEO, UnityPoint Health - Cedar Rapids
With over 40 years of leading heart care advancements, St. Luke’s was Cedar Rapids’ first hospital to pioneer open heart surgery in 1978 and has been a leader in bringing the latest and most advanced procedures to the community for better patient care and outcomes. This tradition of innovation and medical firsts will continue for UnityPoint Health's 32 cardiologists, cardiothoracic surgeons and advanced practice providers who, along with area vascular surgeons and interventional radiologists, offer the most comprehensive heart and vascular services in general cardiology, electrophysiology, interventional cardiology, structural cardiology, vascular procedures, and cardiothoracic surgery.
The multi-million-dollar expansion will consolidate and enhance St. Luke’s heart and vascular capabilities into one comprehensive center, building upon an already strong foundation as the leader of heart and vascular services in Eastern Iowa. The investment and expansion will focus on several areas, including a second electrophysiology (EP) lab, relocating and expanding St. Luke’s Vascular and Interventional Radiology Labs, and building a dedicated cardiovascular hybrid operating room (OR) which will allow for more complex, advanced cardiovascular procedures at St. Luke’s.
“St. Luke’s Heart Care is a long-time leader and innovator in offering complex, specialized cardiovascular care in Eastern Iowa,” said Richard Kettelkamp, DO, St. Luke’s Heart Care interventional cardiologist and medical director of cardiovascular services. “Our heart team is proud of this reputation, takes pride in this distinction and considers it our responsibility to continue to offer the area’s most advanced cardiac care. We have long been known as Cedar Rapids’ Heart Hospital and this expansion will continue our legacy and commitment to providing exceptional patient care and innovation.”
“Our expansion announcement signifies our commitment to our patients and community in continuing to offer complex, specialized cardiovascular care,” said Michelle Niermann, UnityPoint Health – St. Luke’s Hospital president and CEO. “We’ve offered exceptional, advanced cardiovascular care for over 40 years, and this is our response to the growing number of patients seeking heart care and needing St. Luke’s unique expertise for advanced heart procedures.”
Over the last 40 years St. Luke’s has been a pioneer introducing the latest heart procedures and treatments.
The expansion will take place within the current Nassif Heart Center at St. Luke’s Hospital and construction is expected to begin Summer 2022.

Dr. Ryan Sundermann, St. Luke's ER medical director, returns to the podcast to discuss stroke signs, symptoms, treatment and prevention of strokes.
Do you know the signs of a stroke? Remember to B.E.F.A.S.T.!
- B – is for Balance. Do you notice someone has a change in balance like not being able to sit or stand upright? This may be sign of a stroke.
- E – is for Eyes. Someone having a stroke may suddenly begin to lose vision in one or both eyes.
- F – is for Face. If someone’s face begins to droop or relax suddenly, this could be a stroke.
- A – Do you notice that their arm is dragging or drifting down? Ask them to raise both arms as a test.
- S – Speech may begin to slur in the event of a stroke. Perhaps have the person repeat some words or phrases.
- T – Most importantly, time. Every second a stroke continues, brain cells die and can potentially impact brain function permanently. Call 911 or take your loved one to St. Luke's Emergency Room at the first sign of a stroke.
