Robotics in modern surgery

Dear Sir or Madam,

the University Medical Center Mainz is expanding its range of minimally invasive operations with the Da Vinci SP system. This system enables more precise and less invasive procedures in general, visceral and transplant surgery. In our interview, Prof. Peter Grimminger explains the benefits for patients and how it is changing surgical practice.
