Intuitive Surgical
Intuitive Surgical makes the da Vinci robot, used in most robotic cancer surgeries worldwide.
Overview
Intuitive Surgical, based in Sunnyvale, California, and listed as ISRG, makes the da Vinci robot, used in most robotic cancer surgeries worldwide. Its systems are da Vinci 5, the SP single-port robot and the Ion bronchoscopy platform for lung nodule biopsy, with more than ten thousand systems installed. OnCo links it to robotic and minimally invasive surgery, transoral robotic surgery and navigational bronchoscopy, to head and neck cancer, to the bottleneck that surgery and radiotherapy cure most patients but receive least research funding, and to ideas including a consented commons of surgical video linked to outcomes and an independent evaluation unit for surgical robots. Whether robotic surgery improves cancer outcomes, rather than recovery alone, is the question its trials have not settled. The technology pages carry the evidence.
