From Woodlawn Hospital:
Over the past decade, we have seen significant evolutions that have transformed surgery as we know it.
It always has been and continues to be our goal to provide patients with minimally invasive surgical
options. This is why I am thrilled to announce Woodlawn Hospital’s recent acquisition of the da Vinci ® X™
Surgical System.
The da Vinci X System was designed with the goal of further advancing the technology used in minimally
invasive surgery. The System can be used across a spectrum of minimally invasive surgical procedures
and has been optimized for multi-quadrant surgeries in the areas of gynecology, urology, thoracic, cardiac
and general surgery. We are thrilled to bring patients in Fulton and surrounding counties this new
advancement in minimally invasive surgery.
About the da Vinci X Surgical System
By enabling efficient access throughout the abdomen or chest, the da Vinci X System expands upon core
da Vinci System features, including wristed instruments, 3D-HD visualization, intuitive motion, and an
ergonomic design. As with all da Vinci Surgical Systems, the surgeon is 100% in control of the robotic-
assisted da Vinci System, which translates his/her hand movements into smaller, more precise
movements of tiny instruments inside the patient’s body. The X System’s immersive 3D-HD vision system
provides surgeons a highly magnified view, virtually extending their eyes and hands into the patient.
Key Features Include:
A new overhead instrument arm architecture designed to facilitate anatomical access from
virtually any position.
A new endoscope digital architecture that creates a simpler, more compact design with improved
vision definition and clarity.
An ability to attach the endoscope to any arm, providing flexibility for visualizing the surgical site.
Smaller, thinner arms with newly designed joints that offer a greater range of motion than ever
before.
Longer instrument shafts designed to give surgeons greater operative reach.
The da Vinci X System is an expandable technology platform that is designed to accommodate and
seamlessly integrate a range of current technologies, as well as future innovations, in areas such as
imaging, advanced instruments and anatomical access.
As always, we are committed to our mission of putting our patients first. We are truly thrilled to be a leader
in this field and look forward to continue bringing you minimally invasive surgical options.
