Using the most advanced technology available today, the da Vinci Surgical System enables surgeons to perform delicate and complex operations through a few tiny incisions with increased vision, precision, dexterity and control.

The da Vinci Surgical System consists of several key components, including: an ergonomically designed console where the surgeon sits while operating, a patient-side cart where the patient lays during surgery, four interactive robotic arms, a high-definition 3D vision system, and proprietary EndoWrist® instruments.

da Vinci is powered by state-of-the-art robotic technology that allows the surgeon’s hand movements to be scaled, filtered and translated into precise movements of the EndoWrist instruments working inside the patient’s body.

Components of the da Vinci Surgical System

Surgeon Console

  • Using the da Vinci Surgical System, the surgeon operates seated comfortably at a console while viewing a high definition, 3D image inside the patient’s body.
  • The surgeon’s fingers grasp the master controls below the display with hands and wrists naturally positioned relative to his or her eyes.
  • The system seamlessly translates the surgeon’s hand, wrist and finger movements into precise, real-time movements of surgical instruments.

Patient-Side Cart

  • The patient-side cart is where the patient is positioned during surgery. It includes either three or four robotic arms that carry out the surgeon’s commands.
  • The robotic arms move around fixed pivot points which reduces trauma to the patient, improves the cosmetic outcome, and increases overall precision.
  • The system requires that every surgical maneuver be under the direct control of the surgeon. Repeated safety checks prevent any independent movement of the instruments or robotic arms.

EndoWrist Instruments

  • A full range of EndoWrist instruments is available to the surgeon while operating.
  • The instruments are designed with seven degrees of motion – a range of motion even greater than the human wrist
  • Each instrument has a specific surgical mission such as clamping, suturing and tissue manipulation.
  • Quick-release levers speed instrument changes during surgery.
