Abstract

Robotic surgery, performed via the da Vinci® Robotic System (Intuitive Surgical; Sunnyvale, CA), has revolutionized the field of urology. Over the past 15 years, five separate da Vinci® models have been introduced. Despite technologic advanced with each model, the three integral components remain standard and include the surgeon console, patient cart, and vision cart. Additionally, various sterile accessories and multiple EndoWrist® (Intuitive Surgical; Sunnyvale, CA) instruments have been developed for use with robotic surgery. Here, we describe in detail the components of the da Vinci® Robotic System Robotic System and robotic instrumentation, including the multiple technologic advances that have been implemented. We also provide a basic overview of operating room setup and execution of robotic surgical procedures.
