Robotic Head and Neck Surgery with da Vinci

Technology that amplifies your surgical skills

Advancing what’s possible in minimally invasive head and neck surgery

Head and neck surgeons are choosing Intuitive da Vinci technology to help deliver high-quality outcomes to their patients and expand the field of transoral robotic surgery (TORS).

The da Vinci SP system, launched in 2018, has just one operating arm controlling three instruments and one endoscope, so you can operate in a narrow surgical workspace.

In your expert hands, da Vinci SP is enabling patients to undergo minimally invasive surgery for transoral otolaryngology surgical procedures in the oropharynx, restricted to benign and malignant tumors, classified as T1 and T2.

Important safety information

Serious complications may occur in any surgery, including da Vinci surgery, up to and including death. Serious risks include, but are not limited to, injury to tissues and organs and conversion to other surgical techniques which could result in a longer operative time and/or increased complications. For summary of the risks associated with surgery refer to www.intuitive.com/safety.

For product intended use and/or indications for use, risks, cautions, and warnings and full prescribing information, refer to the associated user manual(s) or visit https://manuals.intuitivesurgical.com/market.

Individual outcomes may depend on a number of factors—including but not limited to—patient characteristics, disease characteristics, and/or surgeon experience.

Da Vinci SP system

The safety and effectiveness of this device for use in the performance of general laparoscopic surgery procedures have not been established. This device is only intended to be used for single port urological and general thoracoscopic surgical procedures and for transoral otolaryngology surgical procedures in the oropharynx for benign tumors and malignant tumors classified as T1 and T2 with the da Vinci EndoWrist SP Instruments and the da Vinci SP Surgical System (SP1098).
