Center for Robotic Surgery

The Da Vinci robotic system, the most advanced robotic system for minimally invasive surgery, is available at Casa di Cura San Rossore.
Robotic surgery represents in the surgical field an increasingly minimally invasive approach to the patient, with benefits in postoperative treatment and a much shorter hospital stay.

Its technical features mean that the Da Vinci robot has a variety of applications, from urology to gynecology to general surgery.


Surgery performed with the Da Vinci Robot allows three-dimensional vision, millimeter precision in sutures, and 360-degree articulation of instruments not possible for the human hand. The surgeon does not operate with his or her own hands but by operating a robot remotely: sitting at a computerized console located inside the operating room, the computerized system transforms the movement of the hands into impulses that are conveyed to the robotic arms.
The da Vinci platform is the only robotic system that:

  • It translates the surgeon’s movements intuitively
  • It allows a true 3D view of the surgical field. The surgeon is literally “immersed,” without the aid of glasses or other equipment, inside the patient’s body.
  • It allows intervention through single-site technology with single access through the umbilicus.

Da Vinci robotic surgery is applied to the following specialties:

  • Urology
  • General surgery
  • Gynecologic oncology
  • Thoracic Surgery
  • Cardiac Surgery
  • Pediatric urology
  • Benign gynecology
  • Otolaryngology
  • Transplantation surgery

The main clinical benefits:

  • Oncological radicality, then complete removal of the tumor mass
  • Easy access to difficult anatomies
  • Excellent visualization of anatomical findings
  • More detailed visualization of cleavage plans
  • Greater precision in the demolition procedure
  • Greater reconstructive accuracy
  • Ability to configure surgical motion accuracy (scales possible 1.5:1; 2:1; 3:1)
  • Elimination of physiological tremor
  • Less operative time compared with laparoscopy

Benefits to the patient:

  • Small incisions with better aesthetic results
  • Less need for transfusions
  • Less postoperative pain
  • Reduced hospitalization times, which in many cases are even halved
  • Faster resumption of normal activity
