Intuitive, a global technology leader in minimally invasive care and the pioneer of robotic-assisted surgery, announced that the da Vinci Single-Port (SP) surgical system has received CE mark approval for use in Europe for endoscopic abdominopelvic, thoracoscopic, transoral otolaryngology, transanal colorectal, and breast surgical procedures
“We are pleased to receive CE mark for our da Vinci SP system, which offers surgeons across Europe the ability to perform more complex operations, across more patient types, in a minimally invasive way,” said Intuitive CEO Gary Guthart. “The da Vinci SP system represents the latest addition to our product portfolio in Europe and expands options for surgeons and hospitals seeking to provide patients with evidence-based, innovative care.”
