The da Vinci robotic system, produced by Intuitive Surgical Inc, is today the only technology available to access real robotic surgery. By da Vinci robotic surgery is meant the latest evolution of minimally invasive surgery, following laparoscopy, in which the surgeon does not operate with his own hands but by operating a robot at a distance: sitting at a computerized console placed inside the operating room, the computerized system transforms the movement of the hands into impulses that are conveyed to the robotic arms.
