ROBOTIC SURGERY

East Coast Urology and John Flynn Hospital are the first group in Australia to use the latest model in the line of Da Vinci Xi Robots.

 

The endowrist instruments mimic a surgeons finger and wrist movements with unparalleled accuracy, while the retraction arms and camera allow stability, tremor minimisation and optics to achieve the best surgical outcomes for our patients.

 

The Da Vinci Robot provides a number of significant benefits over conventional open, laparoscopic or earlier model robot prostate surgery.
