- Full year 2023 worldwide da Vinci procedures grew approximately 22% compared with 2022. The Company expects worldwide da Vinci procedures to increase approximately 13% to 16% in 2024 as compared to 2023.
- The Company placed 415 da Vinci surgical systems in the fourth quarter of 2023, an increase of 12% compared with 369 in the fourth quarter of 2022. The Company placed 1,370 da Vinci surgical systems in 2023, an increase of 8% compared with 1,264 systems in 2022.
- Preliminary fourth quarter 2023 revenue of approximately $1.93 billion increased 17% compared with $1.66 billion in the fourth quarter of 2022. Preliminary 2023 revenue of approximately $7.12 billion increased 14% compared with $6.22 billion in 2022.
Preliminary Results
The Company expects fourth quarter 2023 revenue of approximately $1.93 billion, an increase of 17% compared with $1.66 billion in the fourth quarter of 2022. The Company expects 2023 revenue of approximately $7.12 billion, an increase of 14% compared with $6.22 billion in 2022. The unaudited results in this press release are preliminary and subject to the completion of the Company’s final closing procedures and annual independent audit and, therefore, are subject to adjustment.
Preliminary fourth quarter 2023 instruments and accessories revenue increased by 22% to approximately $1.14 billion, compared with $0.94 billion in the fourth quarter of 2022, primarily driven by growth in da Vinci procedure volume and higher pricing for instruments and accessories, partially offset by customer buying patterns. Preliminary full year 2023 instruments and accessories revenue increased by 22% to approximately $4.28 billion, compared with $3.52 billion for 2022, primarily driven by growth in da Vinci procedure volume and higher pricing for instruments and accessories, partially offset by customer buying patterns.
Fourth quarter 2023 da Vinci procedures increased approximately 21% compared with the fourth quarter of 2022. In 2023, approximately 2,286,000 surgical procedures were performed with da Vinci surgical systems, an increase of approximately 22% compared with approximately 1,875,000 surgical procedures performed with da Vinci surgical systems in 2022. The growth in the Company’s overall procedure volume in 2023 was largely attributable to 25% growth in U.S. general surgery procedures as well as 27% growth in outside of the U.S. total procedures, primarily driven by cancer procedures. The Company expects worldwide da Vinci procedures to increase approximately 13% to 16% in 2024.
Preliminary fourth quarter 2023 systems revenue increased by 6% to approximately $480 million, compared with $451 million in the fourth quarter of 2022. Preliminary full year 2023 systems revenue of approximately $1.68 billion was consistent with 2022.
The Company placed 415 da Vinci surgical systems in the fourth quarter of 2023, compared with 369 systems in the fourth quarter of 2022. The fourth quarter 2023 da Vinci surgical system placements included 201 systems placed under operating lease arrangements, of which 109 systems were placed under usage-based operating lease arrangements, compared with 154 systems placed under operating lease arrangements, of which 70 systems were placed under usage-based operating lease arrangements in the fourth quarter of 2022.
The Company placed 1,370 da Vinci surgical systems in 2023, compared with 1,264 systems in 2022.
