The da Vinci Surgical System is a robotic surgical system that uses a minimally invasive surgical approach. The system is manufactured by the company Intuitive Surgical. The system is used for prostatectomies, increasingly for cardiac valve repair and for renal[1] and gynecologic surgical procedures.[2][3]
It was used in an estimated 200,000 surgeries in 2012, most commonly for hysterectomies and prostate removals.[4] The system is called "da Vinci" in part because Leonardo da Vinci's study of human anatomy eventually led to the design of the first known robot in history.[5]
