    The image shows a da Vinci Xi robotic surgical system actively in use during a minimally invasive surgical procedure in an operating room. Four robotic arms, numbered 1 through 4, are draped in sterile plastic covers and positioned over a patient covered in blue surgical draping. Multiple monitors display live laparoscopic surgical footage, and supporting medical equipment surrounds the setup.

    William Beaumont Army Medical Center performs the first robotic surgery in the Department of Defense using the latest robotic state-of-the-art robotic 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.
