Due to the above functionality the system seamlessly translates the surgeons hand, wrist and finger movements of the master controls into precise real time movements of the wristed instrument that are designed with seven degrees of motion - a range of motions even greater than the human wrist, The vision is equipped with a high definition 3D endoscope and image processing equipment that provides to true to life images of the patients anatomy. A view of the operating field is available to the entire operating room team on a large viewing monitor. The wide angled screen provides the surgical assistant at the patients side with a broad perspective and visualisation of the procedure whilst the surgeon operates seated at a console with the master controls viewing a high definition 3D image inside the patients body. The Intuitive Surgical Da Vinci Systems remains the most ubiquitous robot designed to facilitate complex minimally invasive surgery across multiple specialities and multiple body compartments. The Intuitive Surgical Robot Da Vinci has been the subject of in excess of 7000 peer review publications and studies with a wealth of regulatory approvals covering a wide spectrum of surgical procedures much greater than alternatives with lesser functionality available on the market.
