What is da Vinci robotic surgery?

The da Vinci robotic surgery system is a computer-assisted technology that allows surgeons to perform complex procedures with a high level of dexterity.

During surgery, your provider accesses the treatment site through small incisions. They control robotic arms that hold specialized surgical instruments from a computer console to repair damaged tissue and remove abnormal growths. The technology allows your surgeon to perform precise movements often not possible during traditional open surgery. 

The surgeon remains in complete control of the computer-assisted arms throughout your procedure. They can also view magnified images of the surgical site using da Vinci’s high-definition, 3D camera.
