Robotic-Assisted Surgery: About the System
             
  

Robotic-Assisted Surgery

About the System

The system:

  • Simplifies many existing MIS surgeries.
    Surgical procedures routinely performed today using MIS techniques may be performed more quickly and easily with the da Vinci Surgical System. The system looks and feels like open surgery to the surgeon.
      
  • Makes difficult MIS operations routine.
    Some procedures are extremely difficult and are performed by only a select number of highly skilled surgeons. The da Vinci Surgical System enables more surgeons at additional institutions to perform these procedures routinely with confidence.
      
  • Makes new MIS procedures possible in most surgical specialties.
    A number of surgeries that cannot be performed with minimally invasive techniques today can be performed through 1-cm ports using the da Vinci Surgical System. The intuitive motion, enhanced 3-D Vision system and comprehensive suite of EndoWrist Instruments enable breakthrough surgical techniques.
