Innovation in Surgical Robotics

Intuitive Surgical's Da Vinci Surgical System significantly advances the field of minimally invasive surgery by allowing surgeons to operate remotely. This system enables precise and flexible movements through small incisions, which minimizes patient recovery time and blood loss. Initially recognized for its role in urology, particularly prostate surgeries, it has expanded to various general surgical procedures, including hernia repairs and gallbladder removals. The innovations in the platform have led to the introduction of force feedback technology, enhancing the surgeon's ability to feel tissue tension during operations.
