The use of robots in surgery has come a long way in a short period of time. The main advantages of the robot surgery is more precise because to miniaturization which means smaller incisions leads to less pain, less blood loss and faster healing. No wonder that the da Vinci surgical robot Illinois has become the treatment of choice for these delicate procedures such as prostatectomies and heart bypass surgery. The da Vinci robot consists of a console where the surgeon controls the robot from each movement, a car that is positioned near the bedside, and has four arms that the surgeon manipulates (an arm controls the camera, and three arms manipulate surgical instruments), and a high definition video system for three dimensions. Instruments necessary for the surgical procedure, such as scalpels, Bovie, and scissors are mounted on the robot arms and enter the patient's body through cannulas. The movements of the surgeon's hands are filtered so as to eliminate hand tremors and then communicated to the instruments in the robot arms. The dual objective video camera used by the system offers a true stereoscopic view of the situation within the patient that the surgeon sees through two holes Eye on a monitor in his desk. The surgeon operates the robot arms with two hand controllers and two pedals.

One of the robotic surgery procedures has revolutionized the treatment of prostate cancer. Typically, prostate cancer is treated by surgical removal of the prostate gland known as radical prostatectomy. Traditionally, a call for a radical prostatectomy incision of 8 "- 10", which usually cause a great loss blood and uncomfortable recovery time and length. Furthermore, traditional prostatectomy risk of incontinence and impotence. With the da Vinci surgical robot, however, minimally invasive incision is much smaller and with the magnificent, three-dimensional vision of the procedure, the surgeon can clearly see what is happening within the patient's body, allowing greater precision in surgery. This means much less pain and recovery time much faster for the patient, and decreases the risk of infection, reducing scarring, improves cancer control, and a much lower incidence of urinary incontinence and impotence.

Another surgical revolutionized by The Da Vinci robot is cardiothoracic surgery, performed in the surgery of heart and great vessels. This surgery is performed to treat heart valve disease, to correct congenital heart disease, and treat ischemic heart disease (such as surgery coronary revascularization). Traditionally, these surgeries need large incisions, which allows the surgeon to put his hands inside the patient body. As also the case of prostatectomy, the surgical procedures performed with the da Vinci robot require much tinier incisions (three small holes on Small Arms robot) that results in less blood loss and quicker recovery. Instead of spending months recovering from cardiothoracic surgery, many patients recover and return to normal activities including athletics, in a matter of weeks.

The Ilinois da Vinci surgical robot brings state-of-the-art surgery for patients needing prostate cancer treatments, pediatrics and gynecologic procedures, as well as cardiothoracic surgery.
