The “da Vinci” surgical robot is a medical device most often used in gynecological and urological surgical procedures. It is promoted as a safe alternative to traditional surgery, offering the promise of a shorter recovery time due to less evasive medical procedures. However, there are known risks of complications due to design flaws and the way the machine operates.

The robotic medical devices operate on monopolar energy, which creates a high-heat laser to cut, cauterize and coagulate tissues during surgery. The danger may also occur when physicians fail to operate the machinery correctly and burn healthy tissues. Additionally, the electricity can jump to different body parts, burning the tissue without the doctor’s knowledge.
