The da Vinci Surgical System combines computer and robotic technologies
to create a new category of surgical treatment, robotic-assisted
laparoscopic, thoracoscopic or endoscopic surgery. By providing surgeons
with enhanced capabilities, the da Vinci Surgical System makes it
possible to treat a broader range of conditions using a minimally
invasive approach. This means that with da Vinci, you can have major
surgery with only a few tiny incisions. In addition, your surgeon can
operate with better visualization, precision, dexterity and control than
possible using traditional surgical approaches.

Clinical studies suggest that the extended capabilities provided by the
da Vinci System may help surgeons provide better clinical outcomes than
conventional open and minimally invasive surgery allow, such as
better cancer control and shorter recovery time.

To date, da Vinci has been used in everything from minimally invasive
heart surgery to minimally invasive cancer surgery, to treat conditions
as diverse as prostate cancer, endometrial cancer, morbid obesity, lung cancer and
mitral valve regurgitation.

In short, the da Vinci Surgical System combines robotics and surgical
technology as never before, enabling your surgeon to provide the most
effective and least invasive treatment option available for a wide range
of complex conditions.
