The HCG team had especially stationed a roving robot at their center and invited experts to visit and experience the simplicity of da Vinci Si surgical system which consists of exceptional features like dual-console capability to support training and collaboration during minimally invasive surgery and enhanced high-definition 3D vision for superior clinical capability. This technologically sound surgical system has advanced 3D HD visualization with up to 10x magnification and an immersive view of the operative field, instrumentation to replicate range of motion far greater than the human hand and motion technology, which reproduces the experience of open surgery by preserving natural eye-hand-instrument alignment.

The purpose of this exercise was to share an insight of new trends and empower the upcoming generation of doctors with the latest technology in cancer treatment."
