If not controlled properly, the robotic arms of the da Vinci can nick healthy organs and pull on blood vessels and other tissues, causing them to tear. The surgeon is responsible for controlling the robot and may be held liable for failure to control the robot. In other instances, however, if the doctor did not receive proper training or if the doctor was prematurely certified, the manufacturer may be held liable.
The most common tear injuries associated with these robots include:
Often, these tears go unnoticed at the time of the surgery. As a result, many patients will suffer infections or other complications during recovery that require medical intervention and possibly additional surgery to correct the issue.
