The da Vinci system consists of a surgeon’s console, a patient side cart featuring robotic arms with proprietary wristed instruments that are controlled by the surgeon from the console, and a large screen on which to view the surgery.
The cutting edge technology helps surgeons perform intricate prostate surgery more precisely in a minimally invasive manner, with excellent clinical outcomes in cancer control and survival rates for patients.
The surgeon has better ergonomic positioning while seated at the console from where he or she controls the surgery.
The system translates the surgeon’s hand movements on the console instruments into corresponding movements of the robotic arm instruments used to do the surgery. These instruments have a far greater rotation than the human wrist.
The surgeon views the prostate, surrounding tissue and neurovascular bundles in magnified, 3D high definition on a large, full colour screen which offers a superior view than is possible in open or laparoscopic surgery.
