Thank you for posting. The Sport is proving itself and surgeons are liking what they see!

William Burke, M.D., a gynecologic oncologist at Stony Brook University Hospital with extensive robotic surgery experience, commented, "Having completed thousands of multi-port robotic surgeries over several years of practice, I was pleased with the capabilities of the SPORT system that eased my transition from a multi-port approach to single-port robotic surgery. The workspace, access and ease of use while maintaining critical multi-port robotic features such as multi-articulated instruments and high-definition 3D visualization through a single incision, are important factors in transitioning from multi-port to single-port robotic surgery. I must say that the SPORT system, with its sophistication, makes a highly compelling case for single-port robotic surgery."

This renews my excitement about the company, when the surgical community is abuzz about the davinci killer, it reminds me how big this could get. Exciting times...keep crushing it Mc
In Mc we trust!

Probably the most disappointing press release I have seen from this team.

Dr. Advincula: "Single-port robotic surgery could become a reality for many patients." Many? What's that, like a couple dozen? Are we in Trixie territory? "The future of single-port robotic surgery is bright." What about Titan's piece of it? At a large training center, has he had hands-on experience with ISRG's single port option? For a long term SAB member, he seems surprisingly non-committal to our specific technologies.

Dr. Burke, on the other hand, happens to coincidentally share his name with another member of our SAB, but the one in the article is from Stony Brook University Hospital; our SAB member is from the Columbia-affiliated Valley Hospital, according to his bio on the Titan web site. Surely the web site featuring a 53-week old "What's New?" section is kept more up to date with regard to SAB members, so these must be two separate guys. At least Dr. Burke had slightly more convincing input regarding SPORT's capabilities.

I also wonder if it would have been advantageous to wait for the dust to settle further from yesterday's PPS fiasco. Down 17%; that's worse than Trixie's bloodbath the day before. Maybe we should make sure we have a solid baseline before trying to build it back up.

Not sure why I feel so negative today... Something just isn't sitting right with me on this entire situation. Maybe I need to move up from these little 32 ounce coffee cups to something more substantial to kick off my mornings.

Said this yesterday. PR will Be puff pieces from the centers.
