Abstract

The article presents two case reports from Saint Mary's Hospital in Great Britain using the Da Vinci Surgical System and cites its effectivity in surgical operation. The first case was about an ex-smoker with a 9-month history of angina and whose age was 45. The second case was about a 41-year-old male with hypercholesterolaemia and has 2-year of angina. Surgical procedures applied to the patients, as well as the advantages of the new system are offered.
