About the da Vinci® Surgical System
The da Vinci® Surgical System
consists of an ergonomically designed surgeon's
console, a patient-side cart with four interactive
robotic arms, a high-performance vision system
and proprietary EndoWrist® Instruments.
The net result is an intuitive interface with
breakthrough surgical capabilities.
The System extends
the surgeon's capabilities to provide these
significant benefits:
- Enhanced 3-D Visualization – Provides
the surgeon with a true 3-dimensional view
of the operating field. This direct and natural
hand-eye instrument alignment is similar to
open surgery with "all-around" vision
and the ability to zoom-in and zoom-out.
- Improved Dexterity – Provides
the surgeon with instinctive operative controls
that make complex minimally invasive surgery
procedures feel more like open surgery than
laparoscopic surgery.
- Greater Surgical Precision – Permits
the surgeon to move instruments with such accuracy
that the current definition of surgical precision
is exceeded.
- Improved Access – Surgeons
perform complex surgical maneuvers through
1-cm ports, eliminating the need for large
traumatic incisions.
- Increased Range of
Motion – EndoWrist® Instruments
restore full range of motion and ability to
rotate instruments more than 360 degrees through
tiny incisions.
- Reproducibility – Enhances
the surgeon's
ability to repetitively perform technically
precise maneuvers such as endoscopic suturing
and dissection.
