Wrong. Robotic platforms are in demand when they benefit patient outcomes. SH has no benefit to the patient vs laparoscopic or current davinci RASD platforms. Every study available on SH is available at PubMed and it backs up everything I say. I’ve been in the OR for 18 years and logged over 6K hours in Robotic Surgery.

SH is NOT cheaper no matter what Pope says. SH takes 147 minutes for a tahbso, Lap 83, Davinci 20 minutes.

OR time is $150.00 per minute so just do the math. Add in more post op pain with Alf and 2-3 days hospitalization.

But since you’re talking upfront costs consider the Davinci X that was fda cleared this year. It costs 130K LESS than SH and has 4 arms that unlike SH, provide counter traction.
