Stanford Program to Accelerate Robotic Children's Surgery

"The da Vinci Xi Surgical System is a software-controlled, electro-mechanical system designed for surgeons to perform minimally invasive surgery. It consists of a Surgeon Console, a Patient Cart, and a Vision Cart, and is used with a Camera Instrument and EndoWrist Xi instruments and accessories.~The surgeon seated at the surgeon console controls all movement of the EndoWrist Xi instruments and Camera Instrument using two master controls and a set of foot pedals. The surgeon views the three-dimensional endoscopic image on a high-resolution stereo viewer (3D viewer), which provides him/her/they a view of patient anatomy and instrumentation, along with icons and other user interface features. The Vision Cart includes the supporting electronic and video processing equipment for the system."
