the dA vinci RoBotic PRoceduRe
cAMAF prides itself at being at the cutting edge of healthcare benefits and was
one of the first schemes in the country to approve the da vinci robotic procedure for
prostate surgery.
the da vinci robotic surgery system offers the opportunity for surgeons to perform
procedures in a minimally invasive way. the system is currently used only for
prostatectomies in South Africa. it features a magnified 3d high-definition vision system
and tiny wristed instruments that bend and rotate far greater than the human hand.
as a result, the surgeon is able to operate with enhanced vision, precision and control.
