By providing surgeons with superior visualization, enhanced dexterity, greater precision and ergonomic comfort, the daVinci Surgical System makes it possible for surgeons to perform minimally invasive procedures involving complex dissection or reconstruction. This ultimately raises the standard of care for complex surgeries, translating into numerous potential patient benefits, including: less pain, less blood loss and less need for blood transfusions, a shorter hospital stay, a quicker recovery and faster return to normal daily activities.
