Why Surgeons Choose da Vinci Surgery

Innovations that make da Vinci unique

Your surgeon performs the surgery, not a robot.

While da Vinci surgery is called robotic-assisted surgery, robots don’t perform surgery. Your surgeon is in the operating room with you, seated at a console. From the console, your surgeon is in full control of the camera and instruments.

Surgery through small incisions
Miniaturized instruments move like the human hand but bend and twist in even more directions. This helps your surgeon operate in delicate and hard-to-reach places.

A better view where it matters most

Surgeons sit at a console that gives them a 10x magnified 3D view of where they’re operating. This allows your surgeon to see anatomy that’s not normally visible to the human eye.

Designed to support gentle surgery
Da Vinci allows surgeons to feel subtle forces during surgery.^** By helping them better sense how much force they're applying, da Vinci can support more delicate tissue handling.

** Force Feedback technology available on da Vinci 5

Your care team is with you at every step

Remember, your surgeon and care team are on this journey with you. They’re on hand to guide you and answer your questions about da Vinci surgery before your procedure.
