Robot-Assisted Surgery with the da Vinci® Surgical System

Robot-assisted surgery is a technique that is used in the treatment of several types of cancer. During the procedure, the surgeon sits at a console near the operating table and performs the surgery by controlling robotic arms that hold the surgical instruments and a camera. The instruments and camera are inserted into the patient’s body through several very small incisions. The magnified, three-dimensional view provided by the camera, in combination with very small surgical instruments and highly maneuverable robotic arms, allow trained surgeons to work with precision.
