Description
Surgical robot. Manipulators of the Da Vinci surgical robot system holding suture line used for surgical stitches. The manipulators have mechanical wrists" that can reproduce the range of movement of a human wrist. They can be fitted with a variety of surgical instruments for different types of operation. A surgeon can control the robot while viewing the surgical site through an endoscope (flexible viewing instrument) to carry out complex procedures through incisions less than 1 centimetre across. This kind of minimally invasive surgery makes the patient's recovery quicker and less painful."
