Intuitive Surgical (NASDAQ:ISRG) has been a Foolish favorite of ours for years.
The company's robotic approach to surgery improves surgical precision, which leads to better patient outcomes and lower rates of hospital readmission. Intuitive's recent 20% growth in procedures indicates that robotic surgery is gaining adoption in more operating rooms. In addition to patients, investors have also benefited greatly from the growing acceptance of the company. Intuitive's shares are up more than 40% during just the past 12 months.
