What is the name of the robot used by NCS surgeons?
A. NCS physicians are trained on the da Vinci Surgical System for robotic-assisted surgeries. Made by Intuitive Surgical, the robotic system is called “da Vinci” in part because Leonardo da Vinci invented the first robot. He was also known for his unparalleled anatomical accuracy and the use of three-dimensional details to bring his masterpieces to life. The da Vinci Surgical System similarly provides physicians with such enhanced detail and precision that the System can simulate an open surgical environment while allowing operation through tiny incisions.
