Da Vinci Xi^® Robot is here…

Nepean Private Hospital invests in the latest robotic system to provide world-class patient care.

Nepean Private Hospital is delighted to announce the arrival of the Da Vinci Xi^® system. This cutting edge technology allows our highly skilled specialists to conduct a broad range of advanced surgical procedures with few small incisions, resulting in less pain, less risk of infection and a faster recovery for patients.

Da Vinci Xi^® system is the most advanced and widely-used surgical robot in the market. The mechanism of the system involves robotic-assisted wrist instruments which operate directly on the patient. These instruments replicate a surgeon’s own hand movements, who retains complete control throughout, but with increased precision.

Robot-assisted treatment is available at Nepean Private Hospital to all clinically-suitable patients in the following specialty areas:

• Urology – Prostate, Kidneys, Adrenal glands and Urinary system
• Colorectal surgery – Large intestine
• General surgery – Small intestine and Internal organs
• Gynaecology – Uterus and pelvic lymph nodes

 

See how the da Vinci^® Xi Surgical System works

 

The Da Vinci Xi has three components:

SURGEON CONSOLE

The surgeon console is positioned outside the sterile field, where the surgeon sits and controls the instruments with natural dexterity while viewing the surgical anatomy in a stable, high-definition 3D image

PATIENT CART

The patient cart is positioned alongside the bed (in the sterile field) and is ‘docked’ to the patient. The patient cart holds the camera and instruments that the surgeon controls from the console.

VISION CART

The vision cart makes communication between the components possible and supports the 3D high-definition vision system.
