Urologic Applications

The da Vinci® System's intutive interface provides breakthrough capabilities that allow many surgeons to use a minimally invasive approach, even when performing complex procedures. Robotic-assisted visualization, dexterity, precision and control can enable a surgeon to perform a wide array of urologic procedures through small incisions, from nephrectomies to radical prostatectomies, while achieving better clinical outcomes.

Today, Intuitive Surgical is shaping the future of urologic oncology surgery with the da Vinci Prostatectomy (dVP). Performed with the da Vinci Surgical System, dVP represents the fastest growing treatment for prostate cancer today.
