Of course I know it wasn't an ISRG add. I'm not a moran.
It is a great surgical video and I thank you for posting it. Yeah for surgical robotics!
My point was that it is an effective demonstration of daVinci capability only; it bears little or no relevance to SPORT for the Titan investor, or interested medical community. Why? There is extremely limited public information available about the SPORT platform.
As to the SPORT effectors current and planned: there is no information available demonstrating or claiming how they can be interchanged in situ. Besides a needle driver/forceps and a bovie/dissector, no other effector types have been named. Staples or clips suitable for use with SPORT have never been mentioned, let alone demonstrated. A retractor is very likely not part of the SPORT platform. Efficient suturing has not been demonstrated.
A telling patent (or patent application; I forget which) was the armature that was obviously intended to support multiple SPORT heads. What does this tell us?
The bottom line:
Long or not, we are for all intents and purposes in the dark at this time as regards anything but the most trivial elements of the SPORT platform. I simply don't know what to expect as to how it will stack up against daVinci. Without that information, educated investment will continue to be wary. The stellar cast behind Titan has told us nothing.
