ROBOTIC SURGICAL SYSTEM

The Robotic Surgical System enables surgeons to perform delicate and complex operations through a few small incisions. The Robotic System consists of several key components, including: an ergonomically designed console where the surgeon sits while operating, a patient-side cart where the patient is positioned during surgery, interactive robotic arms, a 3D HD vision system, and proprietary EndoWrist instruments.

The Robot is powered by robotic technology that 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.

 

COMPONENTS OF ROBOTIC SURGICAL SYSTEM

SURGEON CONSOLE

  • Using the da Vinci Surgical System, the surgeon operates seated comfortably at a console while viewing a high definition, 3D image inside the patient’s body.
  • The surgeon’s fingers grasp the master controls below the display with hands and wrists naturally positioned relative to his or her eyes.
  • The system seamlessly translates the surgeon’s hand, wrist and finger movements into precise, real-time movements of surgical instruments.

 

 
 

PATIENT-SIDE CART

  • The patient-side cart is where the patient is positioned during surgery. It includes either three or four robotic arms that carry out the surgeon’s commands.
  • The robotic arms move around fixed pivot points.
  • The system requires that every surgical maneuver be under the direct control of the surgeon. The da Vinci Surgical System’s safety checks prevent any independent movement of the instruments or robotic arms.

 

 

ENDOWRIST INSTRUMENT

  • A full range of Endowrist instruments is available to the surgeon while operating.
  • The instruments are designed with seven degrees of motion – a range of motion even greater than the human wrist
  • Each instrument is designed for a specific task, such as clamping, cutting, coagulating, dissecting, suturing and manipulating tissue.
  • Quick-release levers speed instrument changes during surgery.

 

VISION SYSTEM

  • The vision system is equipped with a high-definition, 3D endoscope (flexible tube with a camera and light at the tip) and image processing equipment that provides true-to-life images of the patient’s anatomy.
  • A view of the operating field is available to the entire OR team on a large viewing monitor (vision cart). This widescreen view provides the surgical assistant at the patient’s side with a broad perspective and visualization of the procedure.
