Features and Benefits of the da Vinci Robotic Surgical System

Superior Visualization

• Revolutionary true-to-life 3-D vision.
• Bright, crisp, high-resolution images.
• Immersive view of the surgical field.

The da Vinci S Surgical System enables physicians to perform surgery in a manner never before experienced.

It seamlessly translates the surgeon’s hand movements, at the console instrument controls, into corresponding micro-movements of instruments positioned inside the patient. Overall, the system can provide the surgeon with better visualization, dexterity, precision and control than with open surgery, while enabling operation through tiny incisions.

The system provides visualization of the target anatomy unlike that ever experienced, with natural depth-of-field, enhanced contrast and magnification for more accurate tissue identification and tissue layer differentiation. Improved visualization also enables surgeons to perform delicate tissue handling and dissection with added precision – even in confined spaces. This precision allows the surgeon to avoid trauma to surrounding structures and tissue.

Enhanced Dexterity, Precision & Control

• Fingertip control of EndoWrist® instruments.

• Seven degrees of freedom – 90 degrees of articulation.

• Motion scaling and tremor reduction.

The da Vinci S Surgical System's tremor reduction, motion control and proprietary EndoWrist instrumentation enhance ambidexterity for precision and control beyond the capabilities of the human hand. The surgeon can now move instruments with such accuracy that the current definition of surgical precision is exceeded. Enhanced control and intuitive motion enables more widespread use of advanced technique.

For example, two-handed suturing can become standard practice. Added instrument range-of-motion enhances access and safety to the surgery site — while operating in the confined space of the closed chest, abdomen or pelvis. This enables surgeons to more accurately and easily perform complex surgical maneuvers through small “ports,” eliminating the need for large, traumatic incisions.

Superior Ergonomics

The da Vinci S Surgical System is the only surgical system designed
to allow surgeons to operate while seated, which is not only more
comfortable, but also may be clinically advantageous due to reduced surgeon fatigue. The system’s design allows natural hand-eye alignment at the surgeon's console, which provides better ergonomics than traditional laparoscopic technology.
