The da Vinci Surgical System
Imagine major surgery being performed through the smallest of incisions. Then, imagine having the benefits of a definitive treatment - but with the potential for significantly less pain, a shorter hospital stay and a faster return to normal daily activities - as well as the potential for better clinical outcomes.
Only the da Vinci® Surgical System overcomes the limitations of both traditional open surgery and conventional laparoscopic surgery. da Vinci is a breakthrough surgical platform designed to expand a surgeon’s capabilities - and for the first time - offer patients a minimally invasive treatment option for complex conditions.
The da Vinci System provides surgeons with enhanced visualization ─ including high-definition 3D vision and a magnified view of the surgical site ─ increased precision, and better control. While sitting at the ergonomic console, the surgeon controls the system, which translates his or her hand movements into smaller, more precise movements of tiny instruments inside the patient’s body.
Though it is often called a "robot", the da Vinci Surgical System cannot be programmed, nor can it make decisions on its own. Rather, the da Vinci System requires that every surgical maneuver be performed by the surgeon.
With the da Vinci Surgical System, surgeons and hospitals are establishing new standards for surgical care. da Vinci is changing the experience of surgery, for surgeons, hospitals, and most importantly, for patients.
