What Does the Robot Do?

The da Vinci surgical robot is a high-tech assistant that helps surgeons perform very precise and minimally invasive surgeries. It doesn’t think or act on its own—instead, it’s controlled entirely by a highly trained surgeon who guides its every move.Using tiny instruments and a high-definition 3D camera, the da Vinci system allows doctors to:

• Make smaller incisions
• Be more precise
• Help patients heal faster with less pain

It’s kind of like a superhero toolbelt for surgeons—giving them better vision, control, and access than ever before. And now, Carson Tahoe Health has one of its own to help care for our community!
