The
da Vinci Surgical System combines computer and robotic technologies to
create a new category of surgical treatment, robotic-assisted
laparoscopic, thoracoscopic, or endoscopic surgery. By providing
surgeons with enhanced capabilities, the da Vinci Surgical System makes
it possible to treat a broader range of conditions using a minimally
invasive approach. This means that with da Vinci, you can have major
surgery with only a few tiny incisions. In addition, your surgeon can
operate with better visualization, precision, dexterity, and control
than possible using traditional surgical approaches.
To date, da Vinci has been used in everything from minimally invasive heart surgery to minimally invasive cancer surgery, to treat conditions as diverse as prostate cancer, endometrial cancer, and mitral valve regurgitation.
In short, the da Vinci Surgical System combines robotics and surgical technology as never before, enabling your surgeon to provide the most effective and least invasive treatment option available for a wide range of complex conditions.
While clinical studies support the effectiveness of the da Vinci® System when used in minimally invasive surgery, individual results may vary. Surgery with the da Vinci Surgical System may not be appropriate for every individual. Always ask your doctor about all treatment options, as well as their risks and benefits.
