The robot-assisted system allows your surgeon to make tiny incisions, allowing space to insert miniature instruments. The instruments have a camera on their end, providing 3D visuals in high definition that are sent to a monitor in the operating room. The da Vinci system gives your surgeon a highly detailed view of the inside of your body.
