Surgical Video Gallery
Below is a gallery of surgical videos using the daVinci Xi to treat lung cancer and other maladies in the chest. The purpose of these videos is primarily instructional, and they are intended to be used as a reference for surgical colleagues developing a robotics practice.
PATIENTS are also encouraged to view these robotic surgery videos. These videos can illuminate procedures that individuals, or their loved ones, may undergo. In many cases, observing these procedures can lessen preoperative anxiety and cultivate confidence in the technique.
All robotic surgical videos include ENTIRE, UNEDITED operations. The purpose of including complete operations is to reveal the challenges that occur during every procedure. It is the belief of the website host, Daryl Pearlstein M.D., that these challenges are the richest source of inspiration. Often robotic operations published on the internet are highly edited, obscuring the most difficult portions of the cases. Studying the difficulties is often the most important ingredient in improvement. Hence, all of these operations contain portions that are somewhat imperfect and potentially open to criticism... as every successful enterprise must.
