You are exactly right. I've posted this before. The surgeon community is divided on this but the "forward thinking" progressive surgeons are increasing in number. My former partners believed that it was better to stay next to the patient vs being a few feet away with better vision and more comfort which is actually safer IMO. They also still use pagers. It's a mind set of being afraid of change. LGT chooses to listen to those voices and base his investment on an old way of surgical thinking. When I was a third year medical student I was scrubbed in on a vaginal hysterectomy. Surgeons have very poor vision during these cases but less postop pain. Their was bleeding but they couldn't see it well. They were standing next to the patient. We all struggled to give adequate exposure. I few hours after surgery the patient bleed to death on the floor. This was in the late 1990s at a major medical institution. I will never forget that case. Good vision and surgeon comfort is the next frontier in surgery IMO.
