Manatee Memorial Hospital has announced the acquisition of the da Vinci Xi Surgical System. This new addition to two other da Vinci Si Surgical Systems will further advance the technology used in minimally invasive surgery for procedures in areas of gynecology, urology, thoracic, head, neck, sleep apnea and general surgery. This minimally invasive technique helps reduce pain and trauma to the body, lessens blood loss, lowers risk of infection, shortens length of hospital stay and promotes quicker recovery with less scarring.

The da Vinci Xi System expands upon core da Vinci System features, including wristed instruments, 3D-HD visualization, intuitive motion, and ergonomic design. As with all da Vinci Surgical Systems, the surgeon is 100 percent in control of the robotic-assisted da Vinci system, which translates his/her hand movements into smaller, more precise movements of tiny instruments inside the patient’s body. The Xi system’s immersive 3D-HD vision system provides surgeons a highly magnified view, virtually extending their eyes and hands into the patient.
