- Upgraded surgeon console
- Expanded fingertip controls
- Operating room integration
- Firefly enhanced vascular and lymphatic mapping
Benefits of the da Vinci Surgical System
Using the da Vinci , traditional open surgery can be accomplished endoscopically, with smaller incisions. For most patients, robotic surgery performed with the da Vinci Surgical System can offer numerous potential benefits over open surgery, including:
- Shorter hospital stay
- Less pain and scarring
- Less risk of wound infections
- Less blood loss and fewer transfusions
- Faster recovery
- Quicker return to normal activities
