Part 5/8:
The Success and Scope of the da Vinci System
Since its debut nearly 24 years ago, the da Vinci robotic system has become a cornerstone of modern surgery. With over seven million procedures performed globally and more than 5,000 systems installed, its influence is profound. The technology has evolved with features like Firefly, a near-infrared imaging system that allows surgeons to visualize structures such as blood flow and bile ducts in real-time, providing crucial information beyond the naked eye.
