Components of the da Vinci Xi Surgical System. (A) Vision cart with central processing unit and energy units. (B) Surgeon's console. (C) Mobile patient-side cart, featuring a single boom with a rotating distal platform carrying four interchangeable instrument arms. A laser targeting system automatically positions the boom based on the angle of the laparoscope pointed at the target anatomy to ensure an optimal configuration for the procedure. This is the first example of actual robotic automation in any surgical telemanipulator to date.

(A) Single-incision RM (coaxial technique). The GelPOINT device (Applied Medical Systems, Inc.) allows placement of four laparoscopic channels (including an assistant port, a camera port with 30 degrees up laparoscope, and robotic cannulas for 8- or 5-mm robotic instruments) through a 3.5-cm umbilical incision. (B) Single-incision robotic stripping of endometrioma (da Vinci Single-Site). Two 5-mm semirigid instruments in 25 cm long cannulas, an 8.5 mm 0 degree laparoscope, and an 8 mm assistant cannula are introduced through a 2.5-cm umbilical incision.
