The da Vinci® Surgical System The da Vinci® Surgical System enables surgeons to perform operations through a few small incisions and features several key features, including: Magnified vision system that gives surgeons a 3D HD view inside the patient’s body Ergonomically designed console where the surgeon sits while operating Patient-side cart where the patient is positioned during surgery Wristed instruments that bend and rotate far greater than the human hand The da Vinci System is powered by robotic technology that allows the surgeon’s hand movements to be translated into smaller, precise movements of tiny instruments inside the patient’s body. One of the instruments is a laparoscope – a thin tube with a tiny camera and light at the end. The camera sends images to a video monitor in the operating room to guide doctors during surgery. The surgeon is 100% in control of the da Vinci System at all times. The da Vinci System has brought minimally invasive surgery to more than 3 million patients worldwide. da Vinci technology – changing the experience of surgery for people around the world. da Vinci Surgery is used for: Cardiac Surgery Colorectal Surgery General Surgery Gynecologic Surgery Head & Neck Surgery Thoracic Surgery Urologic Surgery Poster Comment: Merely posting this because a friend's going under it. News to me, but if I know yawl, 'twill be old news to you. It's certainly logical that computer assistance would enter into surgery like everything else, mebbe transforming its already prodigious powers.

I read up on it about 4 years ago. Two cases come to mind. A possible design flaw resulted in a serious, electrical-burned patient, and the second burning incident was attributed to improper complex grounding. In addition to cauterization the device uses current similar to the way a woman doctor using an earlier electrical circumcision device destroyed a baby's penis. The charred remnants of the genitalia were removed and "John Money, a physician from John Hopkins Hospital who worked with cases of gender identity, saw an opportunity to prove gender is learned behavior." He received great praise in medical journals for the successful "sexual assignment". "As a young teenager, the victim refused to take the prescribed female hormones and facing vaginoplasty surgery, 'Brenda' rebelled to the point that her father broke down and confessed to her the botched circumcision which had led to the forced feminization. 'Brenda' immediately assumed a male identity and took the name David. When David's story came to national attention in 1997 John Money's reputation was over. Jean Marie Hout however, the doctor who destroyed David's infant penis was rarely mentioned. In fact many of the mainstream articles reporting David's story even failed to report that David's penis had been destroyed in a botched circumcision. Some only said "the baby lost his penis in an accident" thereby shifting blame from the circumcision "doctor" to the baby! Almost every report of David's story focused on miss-assigned gender and intersex conditions, even though David was neither. Our culture cannot face the truth, that David's natural condition had been misdiagnosed, his penis needlessly destroyed, and that circumcision was to blame. In 2004 David took his own life. This report show how even after his death the blame remains firmly on John Money and mistreatment of intersex conditions, while the real criminal, the circumciser Jean-Marie Huot gets away without notice, even six years (now 12 years-HD) after David's death." ___________________ Horror stories were ever present in my brain when I refused my son's traditional circumcision. And I'll be damned to New Jersey before I'd let someone with the Da Vinci-or, Rube Goldberg or any electrical surgical "System" experiment on me or mine.
Well that's the beauty of it -- there are always lots of other people willing to serve as guinea pigs before oneself :-) I'm glad to be cut, and I'm glad I got through the procedure (as an infant) safely -- but it does cause mayhem and ruin lives for some.
