S 2000 HD Surgical Robot

The da Vinci S 2000 HD Surgical System integrates 3D HD
endoscopy and state-of-the-art robotic technology to
virtually extend the surgeon's eyes and
hands into the surgical field.
Only the da Vinci system enables new minimally invasive
options for complex surgical procedures.

HOW IT WORKS: THE OPERATING SYSTEM
- The operating system itself requires just three small 8 to
12 mm incisions, to introduce two instrument-carrying arms
and a camera into a patient's body. Only the robot and
the operating assistants lean over the patient, while the
surgeon controls the system, which reproduces all aspects of
a real operation with the utmost precision from
a console located elsewhere in the operating theatre.
- The da Vinci S HD surgical robot is designed to
integrate seamlessly into the operating theatre,
providing the best possible support to the surgical team,
just like any other participant in the operation.
The system consists of three main components:
the operating console, a mobile instrument holder installed
next to the operating table, and an image processing module.
- The core of the da Vinci S 2000 HD surgical system is the
operating console, from which the surgeon controls the
operation at all times. Tests carried out with other types of
technology featuring a video transmission system have
shown them to be less effective. The main challenge for
the surgeons was to familiarize themselves with
the inversion of movements - a bit like tying your shoes with
chopsticks. Indeed, if you move the chopsticks to the left,
their tips move to the right. The classic counter-intuitive
movements of standard laparoscopy work in exactly this way.
Surgeons have therefore gradually had to
learn these counter-intuitive movements by repetition.
- Using the da Vinci S HD operating system, the surgeon can
perform the operation while seated at a control console,
while observing the surgical field using a
3D high-definition visualization system with
unrivalled resolution. The world's first surgical robot equipped
with a high-resolution 3D HD representation system,
it features a display with twice the resolution of older models,
and a sharper image that represents critical tissue layers and
structures in greater detail. The InSite™ optical device,
high-resolution 3D HD endoscope and image processing
module deliver realistic images of the intervention area.
Thanks to image synchronization,
extremely intense light sources and camera control modules,
images of the operation are amplified, refined and optimized.
- On the operating console, too, the surgeon performs
movements using master elements (control elements that
reproduce the movements performed during the operation).
Using his fingers, he grasps the master control elements below
the display, with his wrists in a natural position for the eye.
Its movements are then immediately translated into precise,
real-time movements, and transmitted to
the instruments acting in the patient's body.
- The robot's arms, which carry the surgical instruments,
are controlled by wrist, hand and finger movements similar to
those used in conventional surgical techniques.
An extensive range of EndoWrist™ instruments is available for
this system. These endoscopic instruments inspired by the
human wrist feature seven degrees of freedom of movement.
Each instrument is designed for a specific task, such as stapling,
sewing or tissue manipulation.
- The cart beside the operating table carries the
two robotic arms and the endoscope arm,
which mimic the operator's movements.
A third robotic arm is available as an option.
This allows the surgeon to use an additional endoscopic
instrument, providing further operating options.
As the pivot point of the laparoscopic instruments is
close to the surgical incisions, the patient's abdominal wall no
longer acts as a leverage point. Tissue and nerve damage is
minimized. Assistants set up the required instruments,
prepare the introduction of probes into the patient's body,
and monitor the arms and laparoscopic instruments used
during the procedure.
- The most complex operations are performed with the da
Vinci™S 2000 HD surgical system, which enables surgeons to
perform minimally invasive procedures.
Thanks to the cutting-edge technologies used in
motion control, the surgical instruments are able to
work with extreme calm and precision,
as would the hand of a highly experienced surgeon - even
during extremely slow movements.
