Chapel Hill, NC -- OR-Live.com, with technical assistance from Digital Media Services, UNC School of Medicine, will present a Webcast of a da Vinci (robotic) Radical Hysterectomy, broadcast live from N.C. Women's Hospital at the University of North Carolina Hospitals, on February 22, 2006 at 4 PM (ET).

The minimally invasive procedure will be performed using the da Vinci (robotic) Surgical System, and will include a radical hysterectomy and pelvic lymphadenectomy for the treatment of cervical cancer.* Dr. John Boggess, Associate Professor of Obstetrics & Gynecology and Fellowship Program Director, Division of Gynecologic Oncology at UNC School of Medicine will perform the procedure.

For this innovative procedure, Dr. Boggess will use da Vinci (NASDAQ: ISRG), a breakthrough robotic system designed to transcend the limitations of both open surgery and laparoscopy, expanding the surgeon’s capabilities and offering patients a minimally invasive option for many complex procedures. With da Vinci surgery, patients can experience significantly less pain, less blood loss, a much quicker recovery and faster return to normal daily activities.

Although gynecologic oncology is a relatively new application of the da Vinci System, initial reports suggest that da Vinci Hysterectomy can provide women with significantly better results compared with traditional open hysterectomy for cervical or endometrial cancer. “The results,” said Boggess, “are remarkable.”
