The da Vinci XI robot has three major components: the surgeon console, the vision tower and the patient side cart. A camera allows the surgeon to view the area in which they are operating. The nimble robotic arms and instruments are what the surgeon uses to perform the procedure. Dr. Wilson articulates, “The high-definition 3D camera provides us with an amplified view of the surgical site. That allows us to see the tumor and surrounding tissues more clearly. The robotic arms mimic your surgeon’s movements, which leads to greater precision and flexibility during the surgery.”
