What are the da Vinci Surgical Systems? 

Made by Intuitive in Sunnyvale, California, da Vinci surgical systems are advanced robotic-assisted surgical platforms designed to expand a surgeon’s operating capabilities and offer another minimally invasive option for patients. By providing surgeons with enhanced visualization, dexterity, precision and ergonomics, da Vinci systems help skilled surgeons to perform minimally invasive procedures involving dissection or reconstruction.

Does a robot actually perform the operation?

No, the da Vinci Surgical System cannot be programmed or make decisions on its own. There is always a surgeon present in the operating room who controls all the movements of the robotic system. Remote surgery, or telesurgery is not a focus of Intuitive’s product design.
