In this clip, Dr. Muffoletto breaks down the basics of the da Vinci Xi system, the most advanced surgical robot in use today.

👉 Up next: Dr. Muffoletto walks you through how the robot actually operates during surgery.

“Does the robot do the surgery?”

It’s a common question, and one we’re clearing up today.

In this short behind-the-scenes clip, Dr. Muffoletto walks through the three core components of the surgical robot, starting with what’s often misunderstood: the vision cart, or the “brain” of the system.

It’s all part of a highly precise, surgeon-controlled process — and yes, Dr. Muffoletto is the one guiding every move in real time.

Stay tuned for more OR walk-throughs and answers to your most-asked questions!

Before ever entering the operating room with a patient, surgeons using robotic systems like the da Vinci train extensively on simulators and models like this one.

It’s part of what ensures every movement is deliberate, steady, and safe — especially when performing delicate procedures in tight spaces.
