Why da Vinci Surgery?
With the da Vinci System, surgeons operate through one small incision in the belly button* or through a few small incisions instead of a large open incision (similar to traditional laparoscopy). The da Vinci System provides your surgeon with a 3D HD view inside your body. da Vinci has special wristed instruments that bend and rotate far greater than the human wrist. As a result, da Vinci enables your surgeon to operate with enhanced vision, precision and control.
State-of-the-art da Vinci uses the latest in surgical and robotics technologies for simple and complex procedures. Your doctor controls the da Vinci System, which translates his or her hand movements into smaller, more precise movements of tiny instruments inside your body.
The da Vinci System has brought minimally invasive surgery to more than 2 million patients worldwide. da Vinci – changing the experience of surgery for people around the world.
