The Enabling Technology

The daVinci Surgical System is powered by state-of-the-art robotic technology. The System allows your surgeon’s hand movements to be scaled, filtered and translated into precise movements of micro-instruments within the operative site.

It also enhances surgical capabilities by enabling the performance of complex surgeries through tiny surgical openings. The System cannot be programmed, nor can it make decisions on its own. The da Vinci® System requires that every surgical maneuver be performed with direct input from your surgeon.

The da Vinci® Surgical System has been successfully used in tens of thousands of minimally invasive procedures worldwide.
