What has attracted me to this platform from the beginning isn't that is superior to DaVinci, which it may be at some point, rather it is far superior to traditional laparoscopic instruments and techniques. While the cap cost of SPORT will be less than DaVinci the more important difference IMO is cost per procedure.
DaVinci had to make the case that patient outcomes would be improved in order to justify the enormous expense of DaVinci robotic surgery. Does SPORT carry that same burden?
Maybe not. Robotic surgery is not only accepted but now expected by patients. DaVinci did the heavy lifting so to speak in that regard. Assuming that the platform works the way we all hope and it is liked by surgeons then I feel this will be successful. I believe SPORT could be an everyday, every case type of platform. The term "robotic" will mean less in the future. It's how laparoscopic surgery will be done. I think SPORT has the right design to be that platform. That's why I'm still here.....
