Surgical Robot Provides Greater Accuracy, Patient Benefits
Physicians on the medical staff at Texas Health Arlington Memorial Hospital perform a variety of procedures using the da Vinci® Si Surgical System, an advanced, less invasive alternative to traditional surgery.
The da Vinci® Si system is a surgical robot that is controlled by surgeons seated at a console next to the patient's bedside. This new technology allows surgeons to treat complex surgical cases with controlled precision and accuracy. Tremor is eliminated; the right and left hand are ambidextrous; and the "hand" movements are extremely delicate.
Benefits for patients include:
- Smaller incisions
- Less pain
- A shorter hospital stay
- Quicker recovery
- Faster return to normal activities
- 3D – HD Vision
- Single site application for gallbladder removal
- Fluorescence imaging allows for more precise cuts
- Simulator for honing/perfecting skills
System Provides Dexterity, Visual Clarity
The da Vinci® Si system's command center provides surgeons three-dimensional, high-definition images, which provide superior visual clarity of target tissue and surrounding organs — with up to ten times magnification. Plus, two separate high-definition optical channels are used to merge images for advanced depth perception.
The remote instrumentation provides dexterity and range of motion greater than the human hand. Other technologies in the system help replicate the experience of open surgery by preserving natural eye-hand instrument alignment and instrument control.
A New Generation in Women's Gynecological Surgery
The da Vinci® Si system allows physicians to perform less invasive hysterectomies. Not a generic laparoscopic procedure, this alternative to traditional surgery allows gynecologists to perform hysterectomies through a 1- to 2-centimeter incision.
