I agree with you as I opined in the past. Two SPORT units, as currently designed may be needed to eventually do what daVinci does, or to even perform "single port" procedures beyond "relatively simple" ones like chole. There will be a long period of technique development and risk analysis before a SPORT surgeon at a robotic console away from the patient is going to be working without a surgeon assistant who has ready access to the surgery site, via another port, or the ability to do a quick exposure for manual access. One significant bleeding vessel is all it takes.

I am long on Titan, but a lot of posters here have never seen or performed surgery (I've done some large and small animal surgery, including, bowel resection/anastamosis, lobectomy), as a biomedical researcher. I have to trust Titan has all this thought out; but to the non-medical posters out there: just one surgeon, two articulating arms, and a camera in a little hole is not going to go far surgically.
