Da Vinci® – Benefits to patients
The da Vinci Surgical System is changing surgical procedures, which may improve both the patient's experience and surgical outcomes.
MIS (minimally invasive surgery) reduces trauma to the patient by allowing surgery to be performed through small ports or "keyholes" rather than large incisions, resulting in shorter recovery times, fewer complications and a reduced hospital stay.
By integrating computer-enhanced technology with the surgeon's expertise, the da Vinci System enables surgeons to perform extremely delicate and precise minimally invasive surgery (MIS).
The patient may experience the following benefits
- Reduced trauma to the body
- Less anesthesia
- Often less blood loss and need for transfusions
- Less post-operative pain and discomfort
- Less risk of infection
- Faster recovery and return to normal daily activities
- Less scarring and improved cosmesis
