da Vinci Surgical System

Robotic surgery is minimally-invasive surgery performed with the assistance of a robot.

Minimally invasive surgery allows physicians to perform many kinds of major surgery with less patient trauma and pain, minimal scarring, faster recovery and shorter hospital stays. These surgeries are performed through smaller incisions that cause less trauma and lessen needed healing time.

The da Vinci Surgical System is powered by state-of-the-art robotic technology. The system allows your surgeon’s hand movements to be scaled, filtered and translated into precise movements of micro-instruments within the operative site. The magnified, three-dimensional view the surgeon experiences enables him to perform precise surgery in complex procedures through small surgical incisions. By integrating computer-enhanced technology with the surgeon’s skill, the robotic-assisted surgical technology enables surgeons to take minimally invasive surgery to new heights.

The da Vinci System enhances surgical capabilities by enabling the performance of complex surgeries through tiny surgical openings. The System cannot be programmed nor can it make decisions on its own. The da Vinci® System requires that every surgical mauveuver be performed with direct input from your surgeon.
