Da Vinci in the operating room

Robotic surgery is still a novelty. But endoscopic surgery methods seemed no less fantastical 15-20 years ago. Now, laparoscopic surgeries, performed with the help of computer technology without open surgery, have become commonplace. The da Vinci robotic system is essentially the development and improvement of endoscopic medicine technologies. Such systems allow for quick, virtually bloodless operations, reducing the risk of hepatitis, HIV, and other infections among the surgical team. If the surgeon gives an inaccurate command, a safety system is triggered, and the robot's manipulators are blocked.
