[urosurg]

I went and watched a TRXC video again just to make sure I hadn't forgotten anything. For context I'm a robotic surgeon that uses the multi port Intuitive System ~150-200 cases/year. TRXC might have been cool 20 years ago. I used to do lap nephrectomy (kidney removal) cases. TRXC would make that easier. You know what makes it easier than pure lap or TRCX? A real robot which is why I quit doing pure lap kidney removals. Maybe some 60 year old general surgeons that have been doing lap colons and Nissens for 25 years would think TRXC is cool. I don't think a single urology colleague would. Why would we when Intuitive has a MUCH better system currently in the hospitals where we're working everyday, and Titan has something much very impressive on deck.

TRXC is the '97 camry sitting on the lot with a new 911 parked across from it. I can't understand their run. And I don't think it's one of these things where the robotic space is exploding and there is room for everyone. TRXC will NOT generate excitement with surgeons. And without that I don't see hospitals buying it in any real numbers.
