Robotic kidney removal surgery. Laparascopic image of surgery to remove a cancerous kidney from a 40-year-old man with a transitional cell carcinoma (TCC, cancer) of the bladder. This procedure is using laparascopic (keyhole) surgery performed by a Da Vinci robot surgeon. This remote controlled surgical system has four robotic arms that are controlled by a specially trained surgeon from an ergonomically designed console using remote joysticks. Here, the ureter has been clipped (white) to prevent seeding of the TCC.
