"Intuitive’s da Vinci SP system enables me to bring innovation of new approaches and techniques to the robotic surgery arena. It is bringing us ‘back to the future’ with extraperitoneal and retroperitoneal access.”

A high performance system

Da Vinci SP single port surgical system patient cart

Unique patient cart design

The da Vinci SP patient cart provides 360° of anatomical access and the single arm design eliminates the possibility of external collisions and clashing of arms. Through one port, the da Vinci SP system allows you to reach anatomy in all four quadrants of the abdomen without redocking.³

Fully articulating endoscope

See anatomy clearly and visualize tissue planes with a 3DHD, fully articulating endoscope. The flexible da Vinci SP endoscope allows you to see above, below,⁴ and around anatomy during a procedure.

Triangulation inside the body

Control three instruments and an endoscope through a single incision.³ Da Vinci SP instruments give you greater natural range of motion than the human hand and are designed with an elbow and wrist, so you can achieve distal triangulation inside the patient’s body.

Disclosures and important safety information

Financial disclosure

The independent healthcare professional(s) quoted on this website has received compensation from Intuitive for consulting and/or educational services.

The material presented represents the views, experiences, and opinions of independent surgeons based on their practice and personal experience performing surgery with the da Vinci surgical system. Their experience may or may not be reproducible and is not generalizable.

Important safety information

Serious complications may occur in any surgery, including surgery with a da Vinci system, up to and including death. Examples of serious or life-threatening complications, which may require prolonged and/or unexpected hospitalization and/or reoperation, include but are not limited to, one or more of the following: injury to tissues/organs, bleeding, infection, and internal scarring that can cause long-lasting dysfunction/pain.

Risks specific to minimally invasive surgery, including surgery with a da Vinci system, include but are not limited to, one or more of the following: temporary pain/nerve injury associated with positioning; a longer operative time, the need to convert to an open approach, or the need for additional or larger incision sites. Converting the procedure could result in a longer operative time, a longer time under anesthesia, and could lead to increased complications. Contraindications applicable to the use of conventional endoscopic instruments also apply to the use of all da Vinci instruments.

For important safety information, including surgical risks and considerations, please also refer to www.intuitive.com/safety. For a product’s intended use and/or indications for use, risks, full cautions, and warnings, please refer to the associated user manual(s).

Individual outcomes may depend on a number of factors—including but not limited to—patient characteristics, disease characteristics, and/or surgeon experience.

Da Vinci SP system (TORS and URO)

The safety and effectiveness of this device for use in the performance of general laparoscopic surgery procedures have not been established. This device is only intended to be used for single port urological, colorectal, and general thoracoscopic surgical procedures and for transoral otolaryngology surgical procedures in the oropharynx for benign tumors and malignant tumors classified as T1 and T2 with the da Vinci EndoWrist SP Instruments and the da Vinci SP Surgical System (SP1098).
