    The image shows a robotic surgical system, consistent with a da Vinci Surgical System, positioned in what appears to be a hospital operating room or surgical suite. Multiple articulated robotic arms with white housing and metallic instrument interfaces are visible, with the foreground arm labeled '1' in sharp focus. Medical supply carts and storage shelving are visible in the blurred background.

    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.
