MINIMALLY INVASIVE
Prime Surgical Center is proud to offer the da Vinci System, a sophisticated robotic surgical platform designed to facilitate surgical procedures using a minimally invasive approach.
Robotic surgery provides surgeons with enhanced capabilities, including high-definition 3D vision and a magnified view. The surgeon controls the system, which translates his or her hand movements into smaller, more precise movements of tiny instruments inside the body. Although it is often called a “robot,” the da Vinci System cannot act on its own – surgery is performed 100% by the surgeon. |

A small robotic device used by doctors for less-invasive surgery was able to reattach part of a grape skin in a painstakingly delicate operation.
A video of the procedure shows the remarkable precision, though it is not until the end that viewers see that all of the action is taking place inside a small bottle. Grape skins are only fractions of a centimeter thick. Surgeons use the device to be able to work effectively inside patients' bodies using keyhole surgery rather than creating bigger incisions that leave scars. The Da Vinci robot, where the surgeon looks at a 3D video of the area being operated on at a large console, is able to complete procedures where the surgical hole is less than two centimeters. |
