Da Vinci

The da Vinci surgical system is a robot-assisted surgical system used in particular to perform minimally invasive operations in the fields of visceral and thoracic surgery, cardiac surgery, urology and gynaecology.

What is the da Vinci robot?

The robot consists of a control console at which the surgeon sits. On the patient side is the robot unit.

The robot provides the surgeon with a tenfold magnified image, which allows greater precision, and through the robot's arms the surgeon can control microsurgical instruments.

Working together, the robot and the surgeon operate in real time with millimetre precision.

Advantages

The da Vinci robot offers a number of advantages over traditional surgical techniques:

Less invasiveness and therefore smaller external incision wounds.
Less blood loss
Faster wound healing
Less pain
Shorter healing process and hospital stay
Reduction of the risk of infection
The robot allows extremely precise control
High-resolution 3D vision and magnification
Much better surgical access in difficult to reach areas of the body
Enormous mobility

Treatment

In urology, the da Vinci robot is used in particular for robot-assisted laprascopic prostatectomy (removal of the prostate) and cystectomy.
In gynaecology, the da Vinci robot can be used in various procedures, including hysterectomy (removal of the uterus), myomectomy (removal of uterine fibroids) and gynaecological cancer surgery.

The da Vinci robot is used for all complex visceral surgery pathologies, including colorectal procedures, cancer surgery, all hernia pathologies, reflux disease and hiatal hernia, gallbladder and biliopancreatic surgery and bariatric procedures. Robotic surgery increases the safety of minimally invasive surgery by improving the precision of vision and execution of the surgical procedure.
In thoracic surgery, the da Vinci robot can be used in some procedures, such as lung resection, to assist the surgical procedure.
