Intuitive for Thoracic Surgeons

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

Advancing surgical care for your patients

Robotics within thoracic surgery creates an additional option for surgeons to offer minimally invasive surgery (MIS) to their patients. Procedures performed by surgeons using da Vinci surgical systems include lobectomies, wedge resections, and segmentecomies.

Flexibility with the da Vinci Xi surgical system

For thoracic surgeons, the da Vinci Xi system offers multi-port robotic surgery. It delivers multi-quadrant access with the versatility you need for a variety of thoracic procedures. It features our advanced instrumentation and vision, and integration with advanced technology.

Da Vinci SureForm staplers

Staple with complete control, full articulation, and intelligent feedback. At SureForm’s core is SmartFire technology which monitors tissue compression before and during firing. A 120° cone of articulation gives you the freedom to approach tissue where it naturally lies, potentially reducing the need to pull it towards the stapler.¹

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.

Thoracic Connect: peer-to-peer education in an interactive setting

Intuitive brings thoracic surgeons together at the EU Thoracic Connect Up event. Engage with peers, connect with thought leaders, and share the latest insights in the fast-changing world of minimally invasive lung cancer care with the da Vinci surgical system. Mentors in robotic-assisted surgery will share how they build a da Vinci program and utilize the systems across their thoracic practices by using the latest techniques and technology.
