Medical personnel place sterilized covers on the arms of the daVinci Xi surgical system, a minimally-invasive robotic surgery system, at William Beaumont Army Medical Center, April 26. William Beaumont Army Medical Center performed the first robotic surgery in the Department of Defense using the surgical system, May 2.
