Intuitive for General Surgeons

Extend your practice with robotic-assisted surgery using da Vinci surgical systems

Advancing surgical care for your patients

Robotics within general surgery is helping drive growth of minimally invasive surgery (MIS).1 Procedures performed by surgeons using da Vinci systems now range from inguinal and ventral hernia repair to cholecystectomies, foregut and bariatric cases. Consider how surgery with a da Vinci system can add to the MIS opportunities for your patients.

Flexibility with the da Vinci Xi surgical system

For general surgeons, the da Vinci Xi system offers multi-port robotic-assisted surgery. It delivers multi-quadrant access with the versatility you need for a variety of abdominal procedures. It features our advanced instrumentation and vision, and integrated table motion.

Da Vinci SureForm staplers

Achieve more with your stapler. Utilize a greater range of motion than the human hand for your general surgery cases with SureForm stapling. Ensure a consistent staple and cut line, while preventing damage across a range of tissue thicknesses.2

Da Vinci Vessel Sealer Extend

Take advantage of enhanced access and control 3 with a new addition to our portfolio of advanced energy instruments. For general surgery, you can extend your seal, spot coagulate, and grasp with a textured surface during a complex procedure with the slimmer and more versatile 3 vessel sealer.

For academic leaders and trainees

As minimally invasive surgery expands, academic medical centers will continue to play a large role in preparing the surgeons of tomorrow for its latest modalities, including robotic-assisted surgery with da Vinci systems.

Get the support you need

Our experts are here to answer questions 24x7—even during surgery—and your OR is always connected. In addition to technical support for your da Vinci systems, we can help streamline operations and surgical robotics program efficiency for your hospital.
