Thank you for joining us on the call today. Our business performed well in the first quarter of the year, with physicians using our products at the high end of our expectations, driven by strong procedure growth and core general surgery in the United States and strong procedures outside the United States. New system placements in the quarter were solid, with particular strength in the U.S. We're pleased with performance of each of our platforms, with continued adoption of DV5 and multiport, solid results in ion, and acceleration in procedures using our single port platform. Given the dynamic changes in trade policy, I'd like to describe our principles for navigating the current environment, rather than detailing any particular scenario. Our first priority is to assure supply of our products to our customers globally. We have spent years becoming a trusted provider of great products and services, and our first commitment is to maintaining this status for those who depend upon us. We believe that high-quality, minimally invasive care at industrial scale will remain a global need, regardless of trade policy, and our long-term opportunity remains robust. We will continue to manage the business for the long term and invest towards improvement in the quintuple aim. Given potential changes in our costs and our customers' costs across their enterprise, we do not plan reflexive changes to our pricing in that dynamic near-term environment. Our second priority will be to optimize our production costs and rebalance product flows within our existing manufacturing and supply chain footprint as policies begin to stabilize. Finally, we'll adjust our supply chain strategy and assess adjustments to our pricing when we see the signs of a durable planning environment for trade. I'll now turn the call over to Dave to take you through our product services and operating highlights. Dave?
