Intuitive Surgical has established itself as the leader in operative surgical robotics. Through the development and commercialization of the da Vinci® Surgical System, Intuitive Surgical is taking surgery beyond the limits of the human hand™. Intuitive is creating technologies that not only enable surgeons to perform minimally invasive surgery (MIS) in a manner never before experienced, but also may aid in reducing trauma, postoperative pain and surgical complications for patients by operating with the flexibility of open surgery through tiny ports.
