Intuitive Surgical Inc. said the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration has cleared its da Vinci SP surgical system for
simple prostatectomy, in which a surgeon removes part of an
enlarged prostate.
The FDA also cleared the da Vinci SP surgical system for use in
transvesical approaches to both simple and radical prostatectomies,
the company said. In a radical prostatectomy, the surgeon removes
the entire prostate gland, usually for patients who have been
diagnosed with prostate cancer.
"There is a growing body of clinical evidence on the use of the
SP system, and we look forward to continuing our efforts to safely
advance minimally invasive surgery," Chief Medical Officer Myriam
Curet said.
Intuitive Surgical's da Vinci SP system provides surgeons with
robotic-assisted technology designed for deep and narrow access to
tissue in the body.
