If you had access to the American College of Surgeons Community message board you would have access to the opinions of the largest group of general surgeons in the world as they relate to telepresence robotic surgery. But you don't...so it's a waste of time debating this with you. I don't understand why anyone on this board continues to do so.
I'm 40, perform robotic surgery and love the console FYI. Haptics not needed. Agree with earlier post in that it may be annoying. You quickly learn to compensate with visual feedback and experience. My back hurts just watching surgibot.
They want to sit down. They can make the resident, PA, or scrub tech remained scrubbed in the sterile field. If robotics was about staying in the field, ISRG would not have become what it is now.
Surgibot is revolutionary versus traditional laparoscopic surgery, but from an ergonomic standpoint, it is a step backward from ISRG.
Yea, that's why daVinci was a dismal failure, and ISRG went bankrupt years ago. Yes, I remember well the surgeons kicking the console across the room and literally sitting perched on the daVinci arms trying to control them with their hands. One guys shoe fell into the sterile field once; I saw it myself.
