da Vinci Surgery System is Made! (aug 2, 2000 – 10h 38min, dec 6, 2021 y)
Description:
In 2000, the da Vinci Surgery System broke new ground by becoming the first robotic surgery system approved by the FDA for general laparoscopic surgery. This was the first time the FDA approved an all-encompassing system of surgical instruments and camera/scopic utensils. The one-centimeter diameter surgical arms represent a significant advancement in robotic surgery from the early, large-armed systems such as the PUMA 560. This is also the only FDA approved robot for the head and neck.
