Students from Carnegie Mellon were able to see the da Vinci Robotic Surgical System first hand. The da Vinci is used hundreds of times every year at both Allegheny General Hospital and West Penn Hospital in Pittsburgh, PA. It’s used for Urologic procedures such as prostatectomy, or removal of the prostate for cancer; its used for womens health for procedures such as hysterectomy, sacrocolpopexy, myomectomy, and burches.

For the patient, benefits may include:

Significantly less pain
Less blood loss
Less scarring
Shorter recovery time
A faster return to normal daily activities
