“Digital laparoscopy with the Senhance System provides a digitized interface between the surgeon and patient, giving surgeons improved control, comfort, clinical intelligence and confidence when performing a wide variety of procedures with the goal of delivering superior value to more patients,” said TransEnterix Chief Commercial Officer, Eric Smith. “We look forward to attending ACS and demonstrating how digital laparoscopy with the Senhance is ushering in a new era of minimally invasive surgery.”

The Senhance Surgical System received U.S. FDA clearance in October 2017 and represents the first robotic surgery platform to enter the U.S. market since 2000. It is the only digital laparoscopic platform available that offers reusable instruments to help keep costs down, as well as haptic feedback, which allows surgeons to experience and sense pressure/tension with alerts if pressure threshold is reached – an added layer of security. The System combines much-needed technological advances with economic advantages and represents a fundamental change in the approach to minimally invasive surgery.
