As a colleague of the da Vinci SP Product Management Team, you will be part of an innovative surgical platform that is changing the way physicians perform soft tissue surgery. Da Vinci SP is approved in multiple countries to perform a variety of surgical procedures with innovative approaches surfacing from physicians globally. The result is patients recovering faster and going home sooner than other soft tissue modality options1. Even minimally invasive prostatectomy, made reproducible by Da Vinci Systems over a decade ago, is being reimagined by surgeons and performed via new approaches to preserve healthy tissue, leading to faster recovery and postoperative discharge in as little as a few hours after surgery.2
