About da Vinci®
The da Vinci® prostatectomy is the fastest growing treatment
for prostate cancer. The da Vinci® Surgical System is powered by
state-of-the-art robotic technology. The System allows your
surgeon’s hand movements to be scaled, filtered and
translated into precise movements of micro-instruments
within the operative site. The magnified, three-dimensional
view the surgeon experiences enables him to perform precise
surgery in complex procedures through small surgical
incisions.
The da Vinci® System enhances surgical capabilities by
enabling the performance of complex surgeries through tiny
surgical openings. The System cannot be programmed nor can it
make decisions on its own. The da Vinci® System requires
that every surgical mauveuver be performed with direct input
from your surgeon.
The da Vinci® Surgical System has been successfully used
in thousands of prostate cancer procedures world-wide.
