Precision with da Vinci Surgery

The da Vinci System provides your doctor with many advantages that can allow him or her to perform a more precise surgery.

Precision

The da Vinci System’s tiny wristed instruments have an even greater range of motion than the human hand. da Vinci seamlessly filters any tremors from your surgeon’s hands and scales his or her motions, translating them into more precise movements of the instrument tips.

Vision

High-definition 3D vision and up to 10x magnification allow doctors to see the cancer, healthy tissues and blood vessels at a level of detail far beyond what is possible with open surgery or conventional laparoscopic surgery.

Control

The da Vinci System’s Intuitive® Motion provides control through an interface that allows doctors to use natural movements similar to traditional surgery.

While clinical studies support the effectiveness of the da Vinci Surgical System when used in minimally invasive surgery, individual results may vary. There are no guarantees of outcome. All surgeries involve the risk of major complications. Before you decide on surgery, discuss treatment options with your doctor. Understanding the risks of each treatment can help you make the best decision for your individual situation. Surgery with the da Vinci Surgical System may not be appropriate for every individual; it may not be applicable to your condition. Always ask your doctor about all treatment options, as well as their risks and benefits. Only your doctor can determine whether da Vinci Surgery is appropriate for your situation.
