da Vinci® Hysterectomy
1:03:28  - 3 years ago
OR-Live.com, the University of Michigan Health System and Intuitive Surgical, Inc. will present a Webcast of a da Vinci (robotic) hysterectomy, broadcast live from the University of Michigan Hospital, on September 20, 2006 from 3-4 PM (ET). The minimally invasive hysterectomy will be performed with the assistance of the da Vinci Surgical System, by Dr. Arnold Advincula, Associate Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology and Director of Minimally Invasive Surgery, Division of OB/GYN at The University of Michigan Health System. Arleen H. Song, M.D., M.P.H., Assistant Professor, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, will moderate the event to explain critical portions of the surgery and answer e-mail questions from viewers during the Webcast. For this innovative procedure, Dr. Advincula will use da Vinci (NASDAQ: ISRG), a breakthrough robotic system that provides surgeons with Intuitive® motion, high-resolution 3D vision and innovative EndoWrist® instrumentation. The da Vinci System is designed to scale, filter and seamlessly translate the surgeon's hand movements into more precise movements of the EndoWrist instruments, providing the surgeon with improved dexterity, increased precision and control. This can enhance the surgeon’s ability to perform more gynecologic procedures using a minimally invasive approach.
