For a patient facing an operation, the thought of surgical robotic systems might seem intimidating at first. But some of the world’s top surgeons count on this technology — and it’s making key procedures much less invasive.

Surgical robotic systems, such as the da Vinci surgical system, can allow doctors to get the same job done with smaller incisions than what is traditionally required. These advanced systems use small instruments with greater range of motion, control, and dexterity than human hands, to help doctors achieve high levels of precision.

Intuitive, the company behind the da Vinci system, provides intensive educational programs for surgeons in training which include proctoring with a surgeon, telepresence with a mentor during surgery, and a comprehensive online curriculum.

At the da Vinci console, a surgeon uses their hands and feet to manipulate the robotic instruments, which are attached to a cart alongside the patient’s bed. To build their skills, surgeons can practice on an advanced simulator, which recreates the surgical field in virtual reality. By the time these surgeons use the system on a real patient, the inputs required at the console can seem second-nature.
