Enhanced surgical viewing and access
The da Vinci system endoscope provides surgeons with an enhanced, magnified, 3-dimensional view, which greatly exceeds that of conventional laparoscopic instruments. Serving as a natural extension of the surgeon’s eyes and hands, the robot improves the surgeon’s reach into the body.
Smaller incisions lead to accelerated recovery
Robotic surgery is typically performed through several 8-millimeter incisions, much smaller than the incisions of conventional surgery. The smaller incisions translate into less pain and better skin healing. Patients who undergo robotic surgery routinely require fewer blood transfusions, recover faster, and return sooner to normal activities with higher levels of functioning.
Technology and expertise paving the way for the future
Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center is proud to be the first and only hospital in the Middle East to be using the da Vinci Xi Surgical System, the newest generation of robot available. This cutting-edge technology and medical mastery enable the Medical Center to take surgery to a whole new level, with options to perform innovative procedures, such as single-incision surgeries and 4-quadrant abdominal surgeries.
Procedures performed using the da Vinci system
- Radical prostatectomy to treat prostate cancer
- Radical nephrectomy and kidney surgery to remove kidney tumors
- Repairing stenoses (narrowing) in the junction between the renal pelvis and the ureter
- Bladder surgery to treat cancer and other conditions
