The da Vinci® Surgical System was developed to facilitate complex surgeries using minimally invasive technology. It comprises a robotic unit, an operating console, and a monitor for the assistant. The device precisely replicates the movements of a human hand, guided by high-resolution, three-dimensional surgical images displayed on a 3D high-definition system. The robotic unit features four arms, each equipped with forceps, scalpels, and an endoscope. These instruments have wrists that bend and rotate far more than a human wrist, enabling the surgeon to perform delicate procedures with exceptional precision. The surgeon fully controls the system, utilizing the clear endoscopic images displayed on the console.

①The surgeon sits at the surgeon console, using hand controllers while viewing 3D images.

The da Vinci® System translates the surgeon’s hand movements at the console into finer, more precise actions.

②These movements are transmitted to the four robotic arms on the patient cart.

③During surgery, images are displayed on the vision cart’s monitor and shared with the surgical staff.

Key Features of da Vinci® Surgical System

Minimally invasive

By performing surgery through several small incisions, it minimizes scarring, reduces blood loss, and accelerates postoperative recovery, thereby lessening the overall burden on patients.

High-Definition 3D Imaging

The console monitor displays high-quality, three-dimensional high-definition surgical images. Surgeons can view detailed, depth-perceptive internal images on the monitor.

Reproduce precise movements

Surgeons control forceps and scalpels attached to robotic arms. The da Vinci® forceps have a wrist-like structure. This design provides a greater range of motion than the human hand and includes image stabilization for enhanced accuracy.
