I think it will require a larger than 25mm incision for the gelport. There has to be room to work for the bedside assist. A suction irrigator, laparoscopic scissors, or other lap instrument is essentially an 18" rigid stick. While it may not have to be a handbreadth away like traditional lap instruments, space will be necessary for maneuvering by the bedside assistant.

I am a little disappointed about the lens cleaning system. I thought that feature was a huge selling point. Nothing is more frustrating as a surgeon than to be in the middle of a complex operation and have to stop to clean the camera. It happens almost every case with the DaVinci system and with traditional lap cameras.
