The da Vinci system is a tool used to perform minimally invasive bariatric surgery, but it does not treat obesity alone long term.
The demonstration of safety and effectiveness for the representative specific procedures including bariatric surgery was based on evaluation of the device da Vinci Xi/X system as a surgical tool and did not include evaluation of outcomes related to the treatment of cancer (overall survival, disease-free survival, local recurrence), except for radical prostatectomy which was evaluated for overall survival, or treatment of the patient’s underlying disease/condition. Device usage in all surgical procedures should be guided by the clinical judgment of an adequately trained surgeon.
