Most tables are divided into three or more hinged sections (e.g., head, body, legs) and are raised and lowered by mechanical or hydraulic systems using manual or electric controls. These tables support the patient's body during surgical procedures, stabilizing the patient's position and providing for optimal exposure of the surgical field. Operating tables are also designed to protect the patient from excessive manipulation, trauma, and abrasion. da Vinci Robotic Surgical Systems simplify Minimally Invasive Surgical (MIS) Procedures. These techniques are proven to reduce the risk of infection, minimize blood loss when compared to traditional procedures, significantly reducing postoperative pain leading to a faster patient recovery time, reduce patient hospital stay, and contribute to positive psychological outcomes as it pertains to postsurgical scarring. da Vinci compatible operating room tables must integrate with the da Vinci Robotic Surgical System so the patient can be dynamically positioned throughout the surgical procedure.
