da Vinci S Robot

The da Vinci 'S' is the most technologically-advanced surgical robotic system in the world and it is revolutionising the way we carry out prostate surgery at The Royal Marsden.

This state-of-the-art robot uses the latest advances in technology to cut and manipulate tissue in the same way that a surgeon carrying out open surgery would do, but the robot does it through a tiny hole. This gives our surgical team the ability to use da Vinci's extended vision, higher magnification and 3D imagery, enabling even greater precision in their work. This amazing robot is currently performing up to six operations a week and is making an exceptional 'theatre assistant' to our surgeons.
