Robotic prostate cancer surgery. Remotely controlled arms of a Da Vinci robot surgeon being used to remove a carcinoma (cancer) from the prostate gland of a 70-year-old man. The patient is partially visible, with the laparoscopes inserted through incisions in his abdomen. The surgeon controlling the machine is not seen. The final part of the clip includes a close-up of one of the laparoscopes. The removal of all or part of the prostate gland is called a prostatectomy. Da Vinci is a remote-controlled surgical system, developed and produced by the US company Intuitive Surgical. It has four robotic arms that carry tools specific to the operation and other more general surgical implements for procedures such as suturing (stitching) and clamping. A specially trained surgeon operates the system from an ergonomically designed console using remote joysticks with force-feedback. For footage from this operation, see clips K003/3338 to K003/3342 and K003/3343 to K003/3352.
