Issues Caused By Da Vinci Robotic Surgery Systems

While innovative, the da Vinci robotic surgery system has been associated with several complications and injuries. These issues include but are not limited to:

  • Burns
  • Tears
  • Injuries caused by electrical arcing from the robot’s instruments
  • Internal injuries that led to severe medical conditions

The complex nature of the robotic system also raises concerns about the adequacy of training provided to surgeons, leading to potential misuse or malfunction. Many of these complications have resulted in lawsuits against the manufacturer, Intuitive Surgical Inc.

Notably, several cases were settled in 2014, compensating those affected by the system’s failures.

Despite these settlements, there are still ongoing cases as patients continue to experience adverse effects from surgeries performed with the da Vinci system.
