FAQ's

该产品被称为“达芬奇®”，部分原因是达芬奇®发明了第一个机器人. 他还使用了无与伦比的解剖精度和三维细节，使他的杰作栩栩如生. 同样，达芬奇®手术系统为医生提供了如此增强的细节和精度，该系统可以模拟开放的手术环境，同时允许通过微小的切口进行手术.

MIS is surgery typically performed through small incisions, or operating ports, rather than large incisions, resulting in potentially shorter recovery times, fewer complications, reduced hospitalization costs and reduced trauma to the patient. While MIS has become standard-of-care for particular surgical procedures, 它还没有被广泛应用于更复杂或精细的程序，例如, prostatectomy and mitral valve repair.

Intuitive Surgical认为，外科医生在复杂手术中采用MIS的速度很慢，因为他们通常发现精细组织操作（如解剖和缝合）比开放手术更困难. 然而，Intuitive Surgical的技术使MIS技术能够用于复杂的手术.

尽管微创或腹腔镜手术在今天的医院广泛使用, adoption of laparoscopic techniques, for the most part, has been limited to a few routine procedures. 这主要是由于传统腹腔镜技术的能力有限, including standard video and rigid instruments, which surgeons must rely on to operate through small incisions.

In traditional open surgery, the physician makes a long incision and then widens it to access the anatomy. 在传统的微创手术中，外科医生使用刚性, hand-operated instruments, 通过小切口，在标准视频监视器上观察解剖结构. 无论是腹腔镜仪器还是视频监视器都不能为外科医生提供进行复杂手术所需的良好视觉效果，如瓣膜修复或保留神经的前列腺切除术.

与传统方法相比，使用达芬奇®手术系统的外科医生所经历的一些主要好处是手术精度更高, increased range of motion, improved dexterity, enhanced visualization and improved access. Benefits experienced by patients may include a shorter hospital stay, less pain, less risk of infection, less blood loss, fewer transfusions, less scarring, faster recovery and a quicker return to normal daily activities. None of these benefits can be guaranteed, as surgery is necessarily both patient- and procedure-specific.

像心脏手术这样复杂的手术需要有良好的手术视野，以及在狭窄的空间内精确控制操作器械的能力. 外科医生历来使用侵入性方法，如“开放式胸骨切开术”进行心脏手术, 也就是说劈开胸骨，把肋骨往后拉通常会有一个一英尺长的切口. 这提供了能见度，并允许外科医生的手和器械非常接近手术部位的空间, but results in significant pain, blood loss and a long recovery for patients. 最近，更小的切口被用于执行各种心脏手术. However, 许多心脏外科医生认为，通道的减少可能会限制可视化，并可能阻碍进入手术区域.

Currently, 达芬奇®手术系统在全球数百个地方使用, in major centers in the United States, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, India, Japan, the Netherlands, Romania, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom, Australia and Turkey.

The U.S. 美国食品和药物管理局（FDA）已批准达芬奇®手术系统用于广泛的手术. 请参阅FDA许可页面了解具体许可和代表性用途.

达芬奇手术被归类为机器人辅助微创手术, 所以任何涵盖微创手术的保险通常都包括达芬奇手术. This is true for widely held insurance plans like Medicare. 重要的是要注意，你的保险范围将取决于你的计划和福利方案. For specifics regarding reimbursement for da Vinci ® Surgery, or if you have been denied coverage, please call the Reimbursement Hotline at 1-888-868-4647 ext. 3128. From outside the United States, please call 33-1-39-04-26-90.

On the contrary, the da Vinci ® System enables surgeons to be more precise, 提高他们在复杂微创手术方面的技术和能力. The System replicates the surgeon's movements in real time. It cannot be programmed, 它也不能在没有外科医生输入的情况下自行决定以任何方式移动或执行任何类型的手术操作.

Although seated at a console a few feet away from the patient, 外科医生在实时操作时查看手术野的实际图像, through tiny incisions, using miniaturized, wristed instruments. 在任何时候，外科医生都不会看到虚拟图像或程序/命令系统自行/在外科医生的指导之外执行任何操作, real-time control.

理论上，达芬奇®手术系统可用于远距离手术. This capability, however, 不是公司的主要重点，因此目前的达芬奇®手术系统不提供.

在整个手术过程中，系统将来自手术野的一些力反馈感觉传递给外科医生. 这种力反馈提供了触觉的替代品，并通过高分辨率3D视图提供的增强视觉得到增强.

da Vinci®系统是一种机器人手术平台，旨在通过1-2厘米的切口或手术“端口”进行所有类型的复杂手术." To date, tens of thousands of procedures including general, urologic, gynecologic, thoracoscopic, 使用达芬奇®手术系统进行胸腔镜辅助开心术.
