The da Vinci S Surgical System is a state-of-the-art tele-operated robotic device used to perform minimally invasive surgery. It consists of an ergonomically designed surgeon’s console, four interactive robotic arms and a vision system that provides a 3D view of the surgical field. The system’s fully articulated instruments enable the surgeon’s hand movements to be natural and tremor-free. Streamlining the setup process was one of the device’s main innovations, requiring all accessories to be redesigned to be easily managed and quickly attached. The user interface was simplified, and the instrument interface was updated to allow for quicker instrument changes.
