CTMC Adds Da Vinci Xi® To Emmett And Miriam McCoy Institute For Robotic Surgery

SAN MARCOS, TEXAS—Central Texas Medical Center (CTMC) has added the latest da Vinci Xi® surgical robotic system to the Emmett and Miriam McCoy Institute for Robotic Surgery.

The da Vinci Xi® System has broader capabilities than prior generations of the da Vinci System. It can be used across a wide spectrum of minimally invasive surgical procedures and has been optimized for complex, multi-quadrant surgeries.

“Our goal is to always provide the best care possible for our patients. To do so, we need to stay on top of technological advances,” said CTMC President/CEO Anthony Stahl. “Adding the new da Vinci Xi® allows our surgeons to work with top-of-the-line tools to provide our patients better outcomes.”

According to Intuitive Surgical, da Vinci’s parent company, the da Vinci Xi® System is intended to be a technological leap forward in replacing large-incision open surgeries with a minimally invasive approach.

Intuitive Surgical designed the da Vinci Xi® System to optimize ease-of-use, simplifying procedures requiring access to multiple areas throughout the pelvis, abdomen and chest.

Key features of the newest da Vinci Xi® System 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 visual 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.
