About the da Vinci Surgical System

Southern Regional Brings You the Most Advanced Technology

The da Vinci^® Surgical System, which is powered by robotic technology, enables your surgeon to operate with a level of precision never before available.

The system's miniature surgical instruments and state-of-the-art video capabilities give surgeons a magnified view of the surgical area and provide superior control. The da Vinci system allows them to perform maneuvers beyond the capabilities of human hands.

How it Works

The da Vinci robot is part of the da Vinci^® Surgical System which allows surgeons to operate while seated at a console viewing a 3-D image of the surgical field.

Your surgeon views the surgical area through a high-powered laparoscopic camera. Your surgeon manipulates the da Vinci's robotic instruments using the master controls of the control console. The computerized system seamlessly translates the surgeon's hand, wrist and finger movements into precise, real-time movements of the surgical instruments.

The da Vinci's laparoscopic arms rotate, grasp and pivot, performing surgical tasks while allowing for precise movement. The instruments mimic the dexterity of the human hand and wrist. Each instrument has a specific surgical mission, such as clamping, suturing and tissue manipulation.

Better vision

The da Vinci technology gives surgeons enhanced vision and a magnified view of the body's smallest internal structures.

Operating images are enhanced, refined and optimized using image synchronizers, high-intensity illuminators and camera control units.
