“You can really minimize the extent of trauma with the robot”, says Dr. Jeffrey Everett, from the University of Tennessee. “The big thing for patients is recovery time. If we do the surgery with the da Vinci, patients can resume full activity in a couple of weeks versus probably three to four months for open heart procedures.”

According to reports, the da Vinci Surgical System costs around $1.5 million. However, it should be noted that the robot is not only used for cardiac procedures. The robot is also intended for use with OB/GYN and urology patients.
