Robotic-assisted surgery is a minimally invasive procedure that helps patients return to their everyday life much faster. The Da Vinci technology, known for its better patient outcomes, is also associated with lesser pain, less blood loss, shorter hospital stays, and even minimal post-operative complications in certain cases.

In addition, Da Vinci brings across some innovative features including voice and laser guidance systems, a lightweight endoscope, and the same control console and 3D optics system that lets surgeons see into the patients as they operate the device.

This system employs tiny instruments that mimic the movements of a human hand but with a wider range of motion. Surgeons benefit from the system’s built-in tremor-filtration technology, which enables precise, smooth manoeuvring of each instrument. These benefits go a long way in enabling the surgeon and care teams in providing life-enhancing care for their patients.

“With its advanced capabilities and enhanced visualisation, the Da Vinci Xi will elevate the standards of patient care, enabling faster recovery time, reduced complications, and improved surgical outcomes. We are excited about the tremendous impact this state-of-the-art robotic system will have in transforming the future of surgery.” – Sudheesan Puzhekadavil, MD, Apollo Adlux Hospital
