Thanks for posting this. I had my surgery on the 10th and it went well. I was able to glance over and see all the stuff on the back table. The anesthesiologist put the medicine in the IV and put the oxygen mask on and next thing I knew I was waking up in recovery.
Good rule of thumb is always drape equipment just like you’re draping a Mayo stand keeping your hands covered while going over the actual arm or other surgical equipment being draped.
Thank you for making these videos available. I had a left robotic assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy 4 weeks ago. Although I watched other videos of the procedure, I was especially interested in learning about the da Vinci robotic system. You did an excellent presentation of the components of the da Vinci robotic along with draping and docking. Thank you very much for making this available
And I had a robot assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy performed by one of these amazing machines just last week. Thanks goodness for modern technology! I glimpsed it in the operating theatre just before I was anaesthetised. I remember thinking: This looks like something out of Star Trek!
Great to watch the vid as a refreshing my knowledge or to add the luttele extra things I did not know. I only miss the correct designation for the buttons.
this is awesome - I apparently found your channel at the right time, having been a patient of the davinci xi recently. Really intrigued to see all aspects of this beast!
Great video ... I hope the hospital I intern or work at has robots... lol ... Question for each case do they use each arm??? Or is it split up by anatomy and which number arm too use???
They have to use at least 3 arms, Camera port, and two instrument arms for the surgeons left and right hands. Some more difficult cases they may use the 4th arm to help with retracting. On the fly from the console the surgeon can switch arms and maneuver the 4th instrument to retract, then switch back to their previous arm and instrument and keep working.
Getting ready to have surgery with one of these. Does anyone know why the surgery is actually longer using these techniques? They mentioned being under anesthesia a bit longer than traditional surgery, but a quicker recovery and smaller incisions
My 5th day of clinicals and I’ve been doing 2-3 cases a day of robotics . These surgeries are long lol. I came in too fast yesterday and I felt defeated 😞. Almost knicked something
I am so happy to have discovered your channel. I just graduated high school this year and want to become a surgical tech myself in the near future. Schooling doesn't start for another 6 months though, what would you recommend I do before tech school so I am more prepared for class? I plan to attend class sit-ins. Any tips? Thank you!
+Carlos Ruiz glad you found your way here! My suggestion would be to get a medical terminology book. Learn prefixes and suffixes of medical terminology, it will help greatly in your understanding during your curriculum.

Nice to see it in use, I machined and assembled the main joing bearings/housing for this robot, first year had no idea what it was
This video helped me so much. I had way too many cooks in my kitchen. Thanks
The company i work at makes the machine that makes these gloves. It's ridiculously complicated to build but so cool to watch run.

Glad to hear everything went well!
Haha - same here! I wanted to be introduced to the robot but alas I wasn't awake that long ;)
I can relate
@@allagashandluluso true! LOL😂😂

Fantastic video. The unit reminds me of the machine that oral Maxillo Facial surgeons have patients use for radiographic x rays
Thank you for your helpful and detailed videos!
Hi 👋 I 'm Juan from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 is still making videos like these very good 😊 to continue learning 👨🏾🏫
Needed a refresher,thanks for a great explanation!
Nice video, but do you have any videos on how to drape the Si arms pls?
Very informative video , thank you so much for your all efforts 👌
Thanks for this video. It’s very well done!

Very cool, and glad you are doing well!
Are you planning on doing more videos with the davinci?
Could you make a video draping a “mini C-arm?”
A big favor if you make a video about robotic stapling devices and putting mesh inside the trocars please. Thank you so much.
Quick bit of feedback, the flex strips should come out towards you in a “U” shape so it doesn’t impede arm function. Other than that GREAT resource!
Great visual on draping sterile technique
Thank you for the info.
Can you give draping and cord tossing tips? That's a big thing I'm struggling with.
Getting ready to do a excision hemorrhoid as a student. I’m so nervous about draping Wish me luck y’all. 😅
Thanx for the tips man.
Can you please show us how to drape a c arm (mini c-arm)
Thank you! Great explanation!
Thanks 🙏 very helpful

Surgical Tech Tips what does the surge tech do at that point
Heh, looking at my own incisions right now, I've got four. So I guess in lobectomies they use the 4th.
The first time doing this was a hot mess! I got better as I did it more though. Wish I would have saw this video first lol
Do you have for Rookies 3 weeks in.. Spd tech 1???

Excuse me, Can I use your video to teaching?
Verry cool. Thanks for the information all your videos are helpful
Do the magnets on the drapes get recycled, or do they end up as medical waste?
Most likely straight into trash
Pretty sure they’re medical waste
It's a lot easier than the SI system...
Skip to 3:50 for draping
Excellent

More videos of this, please. I'm excited in your upcoming robotics video.
Just finished editting the last one, keep an eye out in the next couple hours it should upload.
Man thats so cool
do we do cathidertors?
Not as a tech. As an FA you can and will.
Why doesn't the manufacturer put some ultraviolet lights in various places of the machine to aid in killing pathogens?
good
Can you show while sterile
Just got a robot at my hospital
the name of the robotic system is not Davnici as you wrote. It is Da Vinci (yeah.. the same exactly with Leonardo). Thank you for the videos
Traduzione in italiano
Da Vinci is good but they certainly know how to rip ppl off
I have no use for this knowledge. I am a sophomore in High School and I plan on becoming a Neuroscientist.
They already ruined someone’s life already with this.. no one isn’t learning.
Is it really a robot? Seems to me it's a glorified micro-manipulator.
What it is is a dangerous machine that adds complications and operating time
1:09 that light that lights up is the cancer sign, or 69 🤣
