The da Vinci Surgical System

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Abstract

The da Vinci Surgical System is intimately associated with the concept of robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery. Its development, which started 25 years ago for military and astronautic purposes, has followed and answered the main challenges of laparoscopic telemanipulation. The innovative enhancement of surgeons’ dexterity, visual capacities, and ergonomics has established the da Vinci system as the gold standard and, until recently, only laparoscopic robotic system. Simulation, virtual mentoring, advanced instrumentation, and enhanced reality are few of the multiple technological adjuncts to the system over the years. Many controversies have been raised, mostly regarding costs and operative time, which are still subject to debate. With the constant improvement of the da Vinci system and the venue of new competitors on the market, robotic laparoscopic surgery will undoubtedly transform the surgical practice at a larger scale in the near future.
