Should I Consider Robot-assisted (da Vinci) Surgery?
Most people are candidates for da Vinci Surgery, but it may not be right for everyone. Only you and your doctor can decide whether Surgery is right for you. Before making your decision, you should make sure you are aware of all the options available to you, as well as your physician's experience as a da Vinci surgeon.
To determine if you are a candidate for da Vinci Surgery, and to ensure you get the information you need from a consultation with your physician, we have put together a brief questionnaire that you can take into your doctor's appointment with you.
While clinical studies support the effectiveness of the da Vinci® System when used in minimally invasive surgery, individual results may vary. Surgery with the da Vinci® Surgical System may not be appropriate for every individual. Always ask your doctor about all treatment options, as well as their risks and benefits.
