The first surgical procedure carried out using a robot in a general hospital has been completed in Liverpool. The ?daVinci Si? is currently the most advanced robotic surgical system in the world. There are only seven other centres in the UK that have the system. It provides surgeons with superior visualisation, enhanced dexterity and greater precision which allows them to carry out minimally invasive, complex surgery. The equipment is being used to operate on patients with prostate cancer. Prostate cancer is the commonest cancer in men in the UK, accounting for 35000 new diagnoses each year which is one quarter of all male cancers. Taken from Granada ITV news.
