Let's be clear: There are no robots performing surgery at NCH.

The da Vinci^® Surgical System is state-of-the-art robotic technology that translates the surgeon's expert hand motions into precise movements of the tiny surgical instruments inside the patient's body.

That's what the da Vinci Robotic Surgical System is all about: Helping experienced, board-certified NCH surgeons do what they do best—with even greater precision.

Best of all, by utilizing da Vinci's technically advanced robotic arms and precise 3D imaging, NCH surgeons are able to successfully carry out even the most complex and delicate operations through incisions as small as one to two centimeters.

Resulting in less pain, less bleeding and faster recovery time for you.

Earlier this year, NCH acquired the new da Vinci^® Si™ Robotic Surgical System, which replaces the first da Vinci system installed in 2006.

The new da Vinci Si system carries with it all the benefits seen with previous versions plus several improved features, including:

• Enhanced 3D high definition color imaging that offers unmatched visual clarity with up to 10x magnification
• Updated and simplified user interface to enhance efficiencies which in turn reduce operating time and time under anesthesia
• Improved ergonomic settings to the surgeon console that provide greater comfort
