The da Vinci surgical system allows your surgeon to perform a sophisticated robotic-assisted minimally invasive surgery. This system delivers 3D high-definition images and highly magnified views of surgical areas. The da Vinci system translates surgeon’s hand movement to the robotic arm in real time, allowing safe surgery. Robotic surgery has a number of advantages compared to conventional surgical methods, such as less pain and bleeding, reduced risk of complications, short hospital stay, and quick return to daily activities.
