About the da Vinci Surgical System
The da Vinci Surgical Systemprovides surgeons with an alternative to both traditional open surgery and conventional laparoscopy, putting a surgeon’s hands at the controls of a state-of-the-art robotic platform. The da Vinci System enables surgeons to perform even the most complex and delicate procedures through very small incisions with unmatched precision.
By integrating robotic technology with the surgeon's skill, the da Vinci System enables surgeons to perform precise minimally invasive surgeries with unparalleled accuracy. Surgery with da Vinci Robotic Surgery promotes quick healing and enhances physical and emotional well-being.
More Precise, Less Invasive Surgery
Minimally invasive surgical procedures allows the surgeons to operate through very small ports (dime-sized) rather than large incisions, resulting in shorter recovery times, fewer complications and reduced hospitalization costs.
 The benefits to the patient may include:
- Significantly less pain
- Less blood loss
- Less scarring
- Shorter recovery time
- A faster return to normal daily activities
- And in many cases, better clinical outcomes
da Vinci Surgery Technology
With da Vinci, small incisions are made to introduce miniaturized wristed instruments and a high-definition 3D camera. Your surgeon, seated comfortably at the da Vinci console,views a magnified, high-resolution 3D image of the surgical site.
Simultaneously, state-of-the-art robotic and computer technologies scale, filter and seamlessly convert your surgeon's hand movements into precise micro-movements of the da Vinci instruments.
The System cannot be programmed, nor can it make decisions on its own. Rather, the da Vinci System requires that every surgical movement be performed with direct input from your surgeon.
