    The image shows a da Vinci robotic surgical system positioned in a hospital operating room. The multi-armed robotic patient cart is prominently displayed with its articulated arms numbered and extended, alongside supporting medical equipment and storage cabinets. The room appears to be set up or in a standby configuration, not actively in use during surgery.

    William Beaumont Army Medical Center performed the first robotic surgery in the Department of Defense using the daVinci Xi surgical system, a minimally-invasive robotic surgery system, at WBAMC, May 2. The surgeon-manipulated system allows for surgeons to operate with articulating instruments which bend and rotate far greater than the human wrist through an incision smaller than a centimeter.
