About Robotic Surgery

The da Vinci Surgical System is a sophisticated robotic platform that puts a surgeon's hands at the controls of state-of-the-art robotic technology. With this technology, surgeons can perform even the most complex and delicate procedures through very small incisions and with unmatched precision.

The ability to use this superior tool to perform surgery delivers important advantages to patients including fewer complications, less pain and faster recovery. Clinical evidence shows that surgery performed this way has the advantage of greater accuracy than traditional surgical methods.

Improved Dexterity

With a robotic surgical platform, surgeons can handle tissue better. Surgeons are able to operate as if with two hands in the surgical field, as the system literally recreates the technique of open procedures. Tissue is easily manipulated and can be dissected with a scissor-like approach, just as it is done manually. Highly sensitive electronics and finely tuned surgical arms can be moved precisely within the incision

Better Visualization

The da Vinci gives surgeons a 3-D, high resolution view of the operative field, which is an improvement over the two dimensional view of open surgery. This means that tissue can be repaired or removed with an efficiency and ease unheard of prior to the era of robotic surgery.

How Does It Work?

Seated at a console, the surgeon is able to manipulate the robotic arms, as the system seamlessly translates the smallest, most precise movements of the surgeon's hand, wrist and fingers into precise, real-time movements of the surgical instruments. The screen provides enhanced magnification, allowing the surgeon to avoid damaging healthy tissue.
