Surgical System
Only overcomes the limitations of both traditional open surgery and conventional minimally invasive surgery.
The System is a sophisticated robotic platform designed to expand the surgeon's capabilities and - for the first time - offer a minimally invasive option for major surgery.
With Surgery, small incisions are used to introduce miniaturized wristed instruments and a high-definition 3D camera. Seated comfortably 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 da Vinci instruments.
The Surgery System cannot be programmed, nor can it make decisions on its own. It requires that every surgical maneuver be performed with direct input from your surgeon.

While clinical studies support the effectiveness of the System when used in minimally invasive surgery, individual results may vary. Surgery with the Surgical System may not be appropriate for every individual. Always ask your doctor about all treatment options, as well as their risks and benefits.
