The da Vinci® Surgical System Is Here

Named for Leonardo da Vinci, the inventor of the robot, the da Vinci ® Surgical System is a sophisticated robotic platform designed to enable surgeons to perform complex surgeries using a minimally invasive approach. The system provides surgeons with tools that enable superior visualization, enhanced dexterity and greater precision, raising the standard of care for complex surgeries.

Furthermore, the da Vinci ® System makes possible all the potential benefits of a minimally invasive procedure, which include less pain, less blood loss and less need for blood transfusions, a shorter hospital stay, a quicker recovery and a faster return to normal daily activities.

Clinical studies also suggest that the da Vinci ® System may help surgeons provide better clinical outcomes than conventional technologies allow – for example, better cancer control and, through the da Vinci ® Prostatectomy, a lower incidence of impotence and incontinence.

While clinical studies support the use of the da Vinci ® System as an effective tool for minimally invasive surgery, individual results may vary.
