The da Vinci Xi is Intuitive's most advanced robotic-assisted surgical system. The surgeon operates the da Vinci Xi by making precise and steady movements from a console in the operating room. Tremor-free, intricate movements can be executed by the surgeon using the controls. With a crystal-clear, 3D view magnified 10X, the surgeon can see more than the naked eye. A miniaturized surgical camera and specialized instruments are designed to help with dissection and reconstruction deep inside the body.
The da Vinci Surgical System provides the surgeon with precision, dexterity, and control during surgery, plus the ability to execute 1-2 cm versus longer incisions.
The da Vinci Surgical System consists of an ergonomically designed surgeon’s console, a patient cart with four interactive robotic arms, a high-performance vision system, and patented EndoWrist instruments.
In 2000, the da Vinci Surgical System became the first commercially available robotic surgical platform in the United States to be cleared by the FDA for general laparoscopic surgery.
There are more than 1,700 da Vinci Systems installed in hospitals worldwide.
More than 775,000 patients worldwide have had a da Vinci procedure.
da Vinci procedures are performed for various conditions in specialties, including cardiac, urologic, gynecologic, pediatric, and general surgery.
Roughly three out of four prostate cancer surgeries in the U.S. today are performed using da Vinci Surgery.
More U.S. men choose da Vinci Surgery to treat their prostate cancer than any other treatment.
More women now choose da Vinci Surgery for minimally invasive hysterectomy than conventional laparoscopy or vaginal surgery.
Recent studies found that when comparing surgical removal of the prostate to radiation, surgery had the lowest cancer death rate.3,4
86% of urology residency programs in the U.S. have a da Vinci System. All 42 gynecologic oncology fellowship programs in the U.S. have a da Vinci System.
