The advent of technology allowing for minimally invasive surgical procedures has opened a new door into the medical future. We no longer have to fear the presence and pain of large surgical scars as we used to for so many procedures. The invention of particularly effective methods of robotized minimally-invasive surgery such as the “da Vinci” surgical system has revolutionized both the general and bariatric surgery industry. Now more-so than any time before, we are able to help create healthier, brighter futures for our patients with far less scarring and permanent marking.**
What is The “da Vinci” System
The “da Vinci” surgical system enables surgeons to perform delicate and complex operations through a few small “keyhole” incisions. The “da Vinci” system is powered through advanced robotic technology which allows the surgeon’s hand movements to be scaled, filtered, and translated into precise movements of the EndoWrist instruments working inside the patient’s body. It essentially enables the surgeon to manipulate these surgical instruments with a precision unattainable by human hands. One of the instruments which gives the surgeons unparalleled control is a laparoscope. The laparoscope is a thin tube with a tiny camera and light at the end. The camera sends images to a video monitor in the operating room to guide doctors during surgery. With this added measure of insight, robotic surgery has been revolutionized.
Types of “da Vinci” Procedures
The “da Vinci” surgical system has brought minimally invasive surgery to more than 3 million patients worldwide. The “da Vinci” technology is changing the experience of surgery for people around the world. The following procedures are available with “da Vinci” technology at Advanced Surgical:
