My dad had the DaVincci used when he had his prostatectomy. An amazing technology for sure!! Got rid of all the damn cancer too :-)

Yes the machine has thousands of special features plus several that alert you when your at risk for damaging nerves. It eliminates shaky hands and gives u amazing microscopic views of area your working on. Def gonna be future of anterior approach. The surgeon literally works on you looking into a screen while your on the other side of the room!!
