If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with a condition that may require surgery, you owe it to yourself to learn about all of your medical options, including the most effective, least invasive surgical treatments available.

The da Vinci^® Surgical System provides surgeons with an alternative to both traditional open surgery and conventional laparoscopy, putting a surgeon's hands at the controls of a state-of-the-art robotic platform. The da Vinci^® enables surgeons to perform even the most complex and delicate procedures with unmatched precision through very small incisions.

For the patient, benefits may include: 

• Smaller incisions - provide faster healing and little to no scarring
• Shortened hospital stay or even outpatient surgery
• Minimal blood loss - less chance a blood transfusion will be needed during surgery 
• Less post-surgical pain – minimizes the length of time or need for pain medication
• Faster healing time – you will be back to your normal routine faster A faster return to normal daily activities
• And in many cases, better clinical outcomes

For the surgeon, benefits may include:

• Superior visualization
• Enhanced dexterity
• Greater precision
• Ergonomic comfort

The da Vinci^® Surgical System makes it possible for more surgeons to perform minimally invasive procedures involving complex dissection or reconstruction.

What is the da Vinci^® Si ^HD Surgical System

The da Vinci^® Si ^HD Surgical System is a technologically advanced robotic surgery system which allows skilled surgeons the ability to perform intricate surgeries that provide patients the best possible surgical outcomes and fastest recovery times. This is achieved because, with the da Vinci, surgeons can make smaller incisions and see magnified real-time imagery of the surgery site in high-definition detail.

Surgeons perform the surgeries by sitting at a computer console, viewing magnified, high definition imagery of the surgery site and using hand controls to manipulate the da Vinci’s robotic arms to make precise surgical maneuvers. The surgeon maintains full control of every precise surgical movement.

The da Vinci^® Si ^HD has several unique features designed to provide additional clinical benefits and efficiency in the operating room, many of which translate into patient benefits.
 
These features include, but are not limited to:

• 3D HD Vision - three-dimensional, enhanced high-definition images with up to 10x magnification
• Superior visual clarity of tissue and anatomy
• Surgical precision far greater than even the human hand
• One million automated safety checks per second
