The US FDA has cleared a new robotically-assisted surgical device (RASD) for minimally invasive gynecological and colorectal procedures in adults. Based on clinical and real - world evidence , the FDA concluded that this s ystem is as effective as the da Vinci Si surgical system. The device is unique as it allows the surgeon to feel the stiffness of the tissue grasped by the robotic arm, provides eye-tracking to control movement of surgical instruments and has laparoscopic-type controls similar to traditional surgical equipment.
