The da Vinci Xi® is designed to translate a surgeon’s hand movements into smaller, more precise movements of small instruments inside the body. Complex procedures are performed through just a few tiny incisions.
Compared to open surgery, patients may expect:
- Less pain, blood loss, and scarring
- Reduced risk of infection
- Shorter recovery time and hospital stay
- Faster return to normal daily activities
UHC specialists are using the da Vinci Xi® with patients requiring surgery for urinary obstruction, treatment for benign and malignant conditions of genitourinary tract, and partial or full removal of the kidney, urinary bladder, and prostate.

As with any surgery, these benefits cannot be guaranteed, as surgery is unique to each patient and procedure. The da Vinci Xi® is considered safe and effective but may not be appropriate for everyone. Always ask your provider about all treatment options, as well as the benefits and risks.
