when was the da vinci robot first used?
2000
the original telesurgery robotic system that the da vinci was based on was developed at stanford research institude international in menlo park with grant support from darpa and nasa. ademonstration of an open bowel anastomosis was given to the association of military surgeons of the us. although the telesurgical robot was originally intended to facilitate remotely performed surgery in the battlefield and other remote environments, it turned out to be more useful for minimally invasive on-site surgery. the patents for the early prototype were sold to intuitive surgical in mountain view, california. the da vinci senses the surgeon's hand movements and translates them electronically into scaled-down micro-movements to manipulate the tiny proprietary instruments. it also detects and filters out any tremors in the surgeon's hand movements, so that they are not duplicated robotically. the camera used in the system provides a true stereoscopic picture transmitted to a surgeon's console. compared to the zeus, the da vinci robot is attached to trocars to the surgical table, and can imitate the human wrist. in 2000, the da vinci obtained fda approval for general laparscopic procedures and became the first operative surgical robot in the us. examples of using the da vinci system include the first robotically assisted heart bypass (performed in germany) in may 1998, and the first performed in the united states in september 1999; and the first all-robotic-assisted kidney transplant, performed in january 2009. the da vinci si was released in april 2009 and initially sold for $1.75 million.
