For the patients

• Small incision
• Smaller scars
• Less pain
• Less damage to adjacent structure
• Less blood loss
• Faster recovery
• Fewer complications
• Early return to work

For the surgeon

• 10 times magnification
• 3-D vision giving better depth perception
• More precision
• Endo-wrist improve range of movement
• Improved dexterity
• Ergonomics-surgeon operating comfortably sitting in the console with armrest
