overview

Until recently, traditional surgery with a large open incision or laparoscopy, which uses small incisions but is typically limited to very simple procedures, were the only surgical options - until now.

Imagine major surgery performed through the smallest of incisions. Imagine having the benefits of a definitive treatment, but with the potential for significantly less pain, a shorter hospital stay, faster return to normal daily activities - as well as the potential for better clinical outcomes.

technology

With the da Vinci Surgical System, small incisions are used to introduce miniaturized wristed instruments and a high-definition 3D camera. Your surgeon views a magnified, high-resolution 3D image of the surgical site. At the same time, state-of-the-art robotic and computer technologies scale, filter and seamlessly translate your surgeon's hand movements into precise micro-movements of the robotic instruments. The system requires that every surgical maneuver be performed with direct input from your surgeon.
