I stumbled across this video set to the music of I Robot from the Alan Parsons Project. Actually with the sound track it does a good job of showing an actual procedure from set up to finish. Interesting to watch the procedure and how the robot “bags” the gland at the end when removed and how the set up procedure takes place before hand. After robotic surgery the patient can usually go home the next day and there is less loss of blood. The DaVinci was recently upgraded and there is additional information and more videos at the link below. BD
