DA VINCI
Assenmacher states that he personally uses the da Vinci Surgical System when performing specialised urological procedures , although the same equipment can be used for general surgery as well as cardiac , colorectal , gynaecological , head and neck and thoracic procedures too .
The company ’ s website points out that a common misunderstanding of current surgical robotics is that machines carry out procedures independently of surgeons . This is incorrect : the da
Vinci system functions as a tool or instrument by which the operator carries out the procedure using a control panel .
“ The da Vinci system translates your surgeon ’ s hand movements at the console in real-time , bending and rotating the instruments while performing the procedure . The tiny wristed instruments move like a human hand , but with a greater range of motion . The da Vinci vision system also delivers highly magnified , 3D high-definition views of the surgical area .”
