For its technical characteristics the robot is able to work in different applications, from urology to gynecology, from thoracic surgery to general surgery. The surgeon, physically away from the operating field and seated at a station equipped with monitors and controls, moves the arms of the robot, connected to the endoscopic instruments, which are introduced through small incisions. The operating field is projected three-dimensionally, with still and very high resolution images.
The system, performing autonomously more than one million safety checks every second, offering maximum safety and reliability during operation. Audio video feedback keeps surgeons and operating room staff informed about the system status and the patient’s health status. A large touchscreen with the ability to draw freehand drawings on the projection of the operating field facilitates communication within the team.
Using the Da Vinci Robot it is possible to make small incisions, reducing tissue trauma. In addition, bleeding, hospital stay and post-operative pain are reduced. Consequently, recovery times are also shorter and it is easier to return to carrying out daily activities. Finally, greater ease in performing complex surgical maneuvers should be noted and safety for the patient is increased.Â
