Product overview
Da Vinci SP is a single-port robotic surgical system by Intuitive designed to perform robotic-assisted procedures through a single incision or natural orifice. The system combines a unique one‑arm patient cart, instruments optimized for single-port access, and an articulating 3DHD endoscope to enable multi-quadrant access and procedures in confined spaces.

Key capabilities

• Single‑port robotic‑assisted surgery via one incision or natural orifice
• One‑arm patient cart providing 360° anatomical access without redocking
• Articulating 3DHD endoscope for visualization above, below, and around anatomy
• Three wristed instruments delivered through a single port to support precise manipulation in narrow workspaces
• Surgeon console control of instruments, vision, and stapling functions
• Supports multi‑quadrant access from a single docking point

Clinical & application notes
Da Vinci SP has an emerging body of clinical evidence across specialties. Clinical use and published experience include urology, colorectal, transoral (head & neck) and thoracic procedures. Surgeons are evaluating alternative access routes, extraperitoneal approaches, and narrow‑access techniques that leverage single‑port capabilities.

Supporting statements and notes

• Intended for procedures requiring precision in compact or narrow anatomical spaces
• Primary intended specialties include urology, head & neck, thoracic and colorectal surgery
• More than 200 peer‑reviewed publications addressing clinical use and outcomes (emerging evidence)
