Safer surgeries. Faster recoveries.
Benefits of minimally invasive surgery with the da Vinci System:
A sophisticated platform designed to enable incredibly precise, complex surgery using a minimally invasive approach, the daVinci Surgical System represents a remarkable advance in surgical technique. Peconic Bay was the first community hospital in Suffolk County to have this technology.
In conventional laparoscopy—the previous standard in minimally invasive surgical technology—the surgeon operates while standing and uses hand-held, long- shafted instruments which have no wrists, and the surgeon must view a two- dimensional video monitor to see an image of the target anatomy and rely on their patient-side assistant to position the camera correctly.
In contrast, the daVinci Surgical System's ergonomic design allows surgeons to operate from a comfortable, seated position at the console with their eyes and hands positioned in line with the instruments.
Powered by state-of-the-art robotic technology, the da Vinci System is designed to scale, filter and seamlessly translate the surgeon's hand movements into precise, delicate movements, which in turn result in an intuitive interface with breakthrough surgical capabilities. The da Vinci Surgical System's fail-safe design minimizes risk of human error when compared with traditional surgical approaches.
The daVinci Surgical System has three main features:
By providing surgeons with superior visualization, enhanced dexterity, greater precision and ergonomic comfort, the da Vinci Surgical System makes it possible for more surgeons to perform minimally invasive procedures involving complex dissection or reconstruction. This ultimately raises the standard of care for complex surgeries, translating into numerous potential patient benefits.
For the patient, a daVinci procedure can offer all the potential benefits of a minimally invasive procedure, including less pain, less blood loss and less need for blood transfusions. Moreover, the da Vinci System can enable a shorter hospital stay, a quicker recovery and faster return to normal daily activities.
