da Vinci®...now that’s good news.
Robotic precision guided by the skilled hands of your surgeon is what we call good news! If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with a condition that may require surgery, you owe it to yourself to learn about all of your medical options, including the most effective, least invasive surgical treatments available. The da Vinci® Si™ Surgical System provides surgeons with an alternative to both traditional open surgery and conventional laparoscopy, putting a surgeon's hands at the controls of a state-of-the-art robotic platform.
The da Vinci System enables surgeons to perform even the most complex and delicate procedures with precision through very small incisions.
For the patient, benefits may include:
- Significantly less pain
- Less blood loss
- Less scarring
- Shorter recovery time
- A faster return to normal daily activities
What is the da Vinci Si Surgical System?
The da Vinci® Si™ Surgical System is a technologically advanced robotic surgery system which allows skilled surgeons the ability to perform intricate surgeries that provide patients the best possible surgical outcomes and fastest recovery times. This is achieved because, with the da Vinci, surgeons can make smaller incisions and see magnified real-time imagery of the surgery site in high-definition detail.
Surgeons perform the surgeries by sitting at a computer console using hand controls to manipulate the da Vinci's robotic arms to make precise surgical maneuvers. The surgeon maintains full control of every precise surgical movement.
The da Vinci® Si™ has several unique features designed to provide additional clinical benefits and efficiency in the operating room, many of which translate into patient benefits.
These features include:
- Enhanced 3-D, high-definition images with up to 10x magnification
- Superior visual clarity of tissue and anatomy
- Surgical precision far greater than even the human hand
Patient Benefits and Information
Together, these technological advancements provide surgeons at Heart of Florida Regional Medical Center with the precision, dexterity and control that enable a minimally invasive approach for many complex surgical procedures and the best surgery experience for patients.
Benefits for the patient include:
