http://www.or-live.com/daVinci/1724 Urogynecology: OR-Live.com, with technical assistance from the Duke University Medical Center, including the Office of Information Systems/Digital Media Service, will present a webcast of a da Vinci® (robotic) Sacrocolpopexy, broadcast live from the Duke University Medical Center, on September 17, 2007 at 3 PM (ET). Dr. Anthony Visco, Associate Professor, Director of the Division of Urogynecology and Reconstructive Pelvic Surgery, Director of Gynecologic Robotic Surgery, and Vice-Chair of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Duke University Medical Center will perform this minimally invasive procedure using the da Vinci® S™ Surgical System. Dr. Jennifer Wu, Assistant Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology, will moderate the event to explain critical portions of the surgery and answer e-mail questions from viewers. da Vinci® (NASDAQ: ISRG) is a breakthrough robotic system designed to transcend the limitations of both traditional open surgery and conventional laparoscopy -- thereby expanding the surgeon's capabilities and providing patients a minimally invasive option for many complex procedures. da Vinci® Sacrocolpopexy represents a state-of-the-art minimally invasive approach to surgically correct vaginal vault prolapse by resupporting the vagina to the sacrum using a polypropylene mesh. This procedure can also be performed in conjunction with a hysterectomy to repair uterine prolapse. The da Vinci's high-resolution 3D vision system, fully wristed instrumentation, intuitive motion and ergonomic design provide unsurpassed visualization, surgical dexterity and control. This allows pelvic surgeons to perform all the steps of a sacrocolpopexy — such as careful dissection, intracorporeal suturing, mesh handling and graft attachment — with far greater surgical precision, ease and efficiency compared to conventional laparoscopy, while applying techniques used in traditional open surgery. Most sacrocolpopexies are...
