The da Vinci Robotic Surgical System by Intuitive Surgical is powered by state-of-the-art technology, making it possible to convert complex surgical procedures in a broad range of surgical specialties from open surgeries to those using minimally invasive techniques.
But it's not the robot that performs surgery. What the da Vinci system does is enhance the surgeon's ability to perform procedures with greater visualization, enhanced skill, precision and control. Robotic surgery enables the surgeon to work more effectively, especially in the tighter spaces, through small surgical incisions.
Multiple clinical studies have shown that the da Vinci S-Robot offers patients:
- Small incisions
- Shorter hospital stay
- Less pain and scarring
- Less risk of infection
- Less blood loss and fewer transfusions
- Faster recovery
- Quicker return to normal activities
