Dr. Harkins to Speak as “Surgeon Expert” in Las Vegas

January 7, 2016/in Latest News /by Dr. Brian Harkins

Las Vegas Nevada is the site for this year’s Worldwide Sales Meeting for Intuitive Surgical, the maker of the Da Vinci Xi Robotic Surgical System. Dr. Brian Harkins is one of a select group of surgeons who has been invited to be in attendance as a “Surgeon Expert” to help educate and provide the surgeon’s perspective to the attendees. His focus at this meeting will be his experience and knowledge regarding the robotic surgical system to accomplish hernia repairs. Across the country and worldwide the robotic surgical system, an advanced minimally invasive platform, is demonstrating rapid growth and acceptance in many areas to include ventral, incisional, and inguinal hernias. As a leader in experience using the Da Vinci Xi, Dr. Brian Harkins is proud to offer this state-of-the-art surgical care.

What Is “The Robot”?

The robot consists of 3 separate but interconnected parts. The “Patient Cart” (above) holds the instruments and connects to the trocars. The “Vision Cart” is similar to the laparoscopic tower. The “Surgeon’s Console” is where the surgeon sits and controls the “robot”.

Why Is Robotics Better?

  • Improved Vision! Surgery with an HD, 3D, magnified, totally immersed view.
  • Wristed Instruments! This is a huge return of dexterity that was lost in laparoscopy.
  • Improved Ergonomics! Now surgeons can sit in the same supported, comfortable position for every case.
  • FireFly Visualization! A special dye is injected into the patient. A built in laser light is turned on. Presto! In the laser light the dye glows and now the surgeon can see incredible detail about bowel vascularity or the bile ducts right through other tissues.
  • Vessel Sealer and Stapler! Rock stable control of these technologies allows greater precision and control in the critical use of these devices.
