Intuitive for General Surgeons

Extend your practice with robotic-assisted surgery using da Vinci surgical systems

Advancing surgical care for your patients

Robotics within general surgery is helping drive growth of minimally invasive surgery (MIS).1 Procedures performed by surgeons using da Vinci systems now range from inguinal and ventral hernia repair to cholecystectomies, foregut and bariatric cases. Consider how surgery with a da Vinci system can add to the MIS opportunities for your patients.
