About this trial

The goal of this clinical trial is to provide additional data to confirm safety and performance of the da Vinci Xi Surgical System in a human clinical setting. This pilot study is intended to provide an initial assessment to evaluate the feasibility, safety, and effectiveness for the utilization of the da Vinci Xi on pediatric and adolescent patients. This clinical trial will be conducted under the auspices of Stanford University's IRB approval.

Treatments tested in this trial

  • da Vinci Xi Robotic Surgery System

    Device

    The da Vinci Xi Surgical System is a software-controlled, electro-mechanical system designed for surgeons to perform minimally invasive surgery. It consists of a Surgeon Console, a Patient Cart, and a Vision Cart, and is used with a Camera Instrument and EndoWrist Xi instruments and accessories. The surgeon seated at the surgeon console controls all movement of the EndoWrist Xi instruments and Camera Instrument using two master controls and a set of foot pedals. The surgeon views the three-dimensional endoscopic image on a high-resolution stereo viewer (3D viewer), which provides him/her/they a view of patient anatomy and instrumentation, along with icons and other user interface features. The Vision Cart includes the supporting electronic and video processing equipment for the system.
