Does robotic-assisted surgery make the surgeon unnecessary?
Surgery with the da Vinci surgical system does not place a robot at the controls. Your surgeon is controlling every aspect of the surgery using the technology of the da Vinci robotic platform. Small incisions are used to introduce miniaturized wristed instruments and a high-definition 3D camera into the body. Seated at the console, 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 instruments.
