Da Vinci Surgery

WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:10.300 I exclusively use the da Vinci Surgical System. 00:00:10.325 --> 00:00:11.420 Why? 00:00:11.445 --> 00:00:12.960 Patient outcomes. 00:00:13.160 --> 00:00:16.740 One thing that's great, less postoperative pain. 00:00:16.765 --> 00:00:21.080 In the way that the system works, there's less torque and less trauma to the 00:00:21.105 --> 00:00:25.740 abdominal wall, which means less pain afterwards, need for less narcotics, less 00:00:25.765 --> 00:00:30.860 constipation, back to work, back to kids, all those functions life. 00:00:30.885 --> 00:00:34.700 Two, I find it's a safer way to do the procedures. 00:00:34.725 --> 00:00:37.580 Couple of reasons. One, the vision. 00:00:37.605 --> 00:00:39.380 The vision is tremendous. 00:00:39.405 --> 00:00:42.140 HD vision all the time. 00:00:42.165 --> 00:00:44.300 Zoom in, zoom out. 00:00:44.325 --> 00:00:49.280 It has special modes where you can check staple lines, you can see blood flow, you 00:00:49.305 --> 00:00:52.340 can see things the eye just can't see. 00:00:52.365 --> 00:00:55.960 The functionality of the robotic instruments. 00:00:55.985 --> 00:00:56.420 Wristed. 00:00:56.445 --> 00:00:57.700 You see that? 00:00:57.725 --> 00:00:59.260 That's very, very nice. 00:00:59.285 --> 00:01:03.300 When you're trying to staple around a corner, sewing in a small space, 00:01:03.325 --> 00:01:07.290 trying to get a good angle on things, makes it much, much easier, 00:01:07.320 --> 00:01:09.850 much safer, much faster. 00:01:09.880 --> 00:01:12.930 Lastly, the stapler system. 00:01:12.960 --> 00:01:20.410 With traditional laparoscopic surgery, the staple choices are a guess, 00:01:20.440 --> 00:01:22.020 an educated guess. 00:01:22.045 --> 00:01:26.780 And you do get some feedback as you're firing that stapler along the staple line. 00:01:26.805 --> 00:01:30.040 But with the Da Vinci system, it clamps down. 00:01:30.065 --> 00:01:32.180 It does its calculations. 00:01:32.205 --> 00:01:35.340 If you have an improper staple load, you get feedback. 00:01:35.365 --> 00:01:40.260 You're able to change that staple load, and then as that stapler fires, 00:01:40.285 --> 00:01:45.260 thousands of little calculations are done every single millimeter to get those 00:01:45.285 --> 00:01:49.290 perfect safe staplers for your bariatric procedure. 00:01:49.320 --> 00:01:55.490 Ultra-minimally invasive da Vinci surgery is more precise, less invasive, 00:01:55.520 --> 00:01:57.740 and patients heal faster. 00:01:57.765 --> 00:02:02.680 I exclusively use the da Vinci Surgical System for all bariatric procedures.
