ObjectiveTo review the current status of da Vinci surgical system in vascular surgery.
MethodsRecent literatures published in Chinese or English about the application of da Vinci surgical system in vascular surgery were reviewed and analyzed.
Resultsda Vinci surgical system was mainly applied in diseases such as aortoiliac occlusive disease, aneurysm, typeⅡ endoleak after endovascular aortic repair, celiac artery compression syndrome, and so on. It was used to expose arteries, or assist to ligate and dissect arteries. da Vinci surgical system showed apparent advantages in shorting the time of aortic clamping, however, the high cost, the loss of tactile feedback, and the long learning curve may be its shortcomings.
Conclusionda Vinci surgical system is safe and effective in vascular surgery, while much more experience is required to evaluate its long-term effect and complication.
