I've changed my mind on Titans strategy to market SPORT for gallbladder surgeries. I now think it's a great one. The da Vinci was first marketed for heart surgery. That didn't work. They than went to hysterectomies. About 600,000 are done a year. The average gynecologist will do maybe 1/week. Than came prostatectomies. 60,000/year. A very busy urologist doing robotics will do 1/week. It's only done for cancer. Since robotics that number is over 80,000.
Now enter cholecystectomy. Over 1 million/year. As a general surgeon I do on average 3/week. I sometimes use the da Vinci for cholecystectomies not because I like too, but because I need too in order to keep my skills up. As I've said before, a da Vinci single site surgery is tedious and not fun but the patients love not having a scar. The SPORT will likely be easier to use and quicker. Need I say more. LONG TITAN!
