The da Vinci System is powered by robotic technology that allows the surgeon’s hand movements to be translated into smaller, precise movements of tiny instruments inside the patient’s body. One of the instruments is a laparoscope – a thin tube with a tiny camera and light at the end. The camera sends images to a video monitor in the operating room to guide doctors during surgery. The surgeon is 100% in control of the da Vinci System at all times.
The da Vinci® Surgical System enables surgeons to perform operations through a few small incisions and features several key features, including:
- Magnified vision system that gives surgeons a 3D HD view inside the patient’s body
- Ergonomically designed console where the surgeon sits while operating
- Patient-side cart where the patient is positioned during surgery
- Wristed instruments that bend and rotate far greater than the human hand
The da Vinci System has brought minimally invasive surgery to more than 3 million patients worldwide. da Vinci technology – changing the experience of surgery for people around the world.
Aram E. Jawed M.D.
Dr. Aram Jawed is a well-trained surgeon specializing in Advanced Laparoscopic, Bariatric, and Robotic Surgery. After successful completion of his general surgery training at Morristown Medical Center with Dr. Alexander Abkin and receiving the resident achievement award from the Society of Laparoendoscopic Surgeons, he completed an additional year of minimally invasive, bariatric, and robotic surgical training as a fellow at Innovation Health in Northern Virginia at a Bariatric surgery center of excellence. He graduated having done the most procedures of any historical fellow at the program.
Dr. Jawed jump started the surgical robotic training while at Morristown and won the gold medal at the first annual New York City Robotic Olympics. He is currently nationally certified on the DaVinci Robotic System and also learned to employ robotic surgery for advanced revision cases during his fellowship.
