Robotic surgery. Close-up of a monitor showing a patient's vital signs, with a surgeon operating a Da Vinci robot surgeon (background) during surgery to remove a patient's prostate gland. This remote controlled surgical system, developed and produced by the US company Intuitive Surgical, 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. The specially trained surgeon operates the system from this ergonomically designed console using remote joysticks with force-feedback.
