The da Vinci surgical system has been used on more than 3 million patients worldwide. It is meant to be a minimally invasive surgery because the robotic technology is able to operate through small incisions.
The technology is able to mimic a surgeon’s hand movements using a 3D high-definition vision system. Intuitive Surgical, Inc., manufacturer of the da Vinci surgical system, claims that your surgeon is 100 percent in control of the system at all times.
Unfortunately, despite these claims, many patients have suffered serious injuries — or even death — after the da Vinci system malfunctioned during their surgeries. In fact, thousands of mishaps involving the da Vinci system have been reported to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), with many of these mishaps resulting in serious injury to patients.
