The da Vinci Surgical System is used to stitch a grape back together. The same technology that can be used to suture a tiny grape is designed to help perform delicate, minimally invasive surgery.

laparoscopyhospital.com This video demonstrate Da Vinci Robotic Repair of Bilateral Recurrent Hernia Surgery performed by Dr R K Mishra at World Laparoscopy Hospital. Benefits of da Vinci surgery include:

Significantly less pain
Potentially less blood loss
Fewer complications - including reduced risk of infection
Less scarring -- 1-2 cm incisions versus 8 inches with open surgery
Shorter hospital stay
Quicker recovery from surgery and return to normal routine
The state-of-the-art da Vinci robot allows some complex surgeries to be performed as minimally invasive procedures. Through tiny 1-2 cm incisions, a surgeon using the da Vinci system can operate with precision and control while minimizing the pain that often accompanies the large incisions associated with open surgery.

Robotic transabdominal approach for removal of large submucosal esophageal leiomyoma . The da Vinci robot with a 4 arm technique was used. The Mucosa was not disrupted and complete removal as well as esophageal mucosal integrity was confirmed by esophagoscopy at the end of the procedure.

I believe this is the only transabdominal, 100% robot assited adult Morgagni hernia repair to be posted. I used the Da Vinci system to reduce a very large hernia containing transverse and portion of ascending colon and all of the omentum. I repaired the defect with a tension free Gore patch closure.

I wanted to play around with the da Vinci robot to see what I could do with the technology. At work, I use the robot to operate on the heart and the lungs. In my spare time I like to paint. I decided to paint a miniature Van Gogh using oils, mini paint brush tips and a 2x2 canvas. I hope you enjoy watching, it was fun to do!

Recently acquired by the Science Museum, this is the original surgical robot system used by Professor Darzi and Shirley Martin, and is now part of the Museum's permanent collection. WARNING: The film features footage of a simulated surgery.

Robot Surgery was part of the Robots exhibition event series and run in partnership with Guardian Live.
