Positioning is done in the supine position on the large vacuum cushion. The left arm can be positioned separately. The use of the cushion eliminates the need for additional supports.
Note:
The positioning is of particular importance due to the docking of the patient to the robot's manipulator. There is a risk of injury if the patient slips.
Caution:
Vacuum cushions may have leaks. Check again before sterile draping.
- The surgeon ideally sits at the console with the ability to also view the patient and table assistant.

- The table assistant stands or sits on the right side of the operating table.
- Anesthesia is positioned at the head of the patient.
- The scrub nurse stands to the right of the table assistant.
