Below is the response of one of the 'Surgeons from Europe on twitter"

'Wow. This is disgusting. As with all journalists a telephone call taken out of context. My sincere apologies to Transenterix for any harm I may have caused. Everyone beware who you speak to.'"

Surgeon's comments taken out of context (twisted)

Thanks I must have missed this article the first time you posted it. How about a different slant on things. If TRXC is such a complete failure and has no future seems it would be an easier sell for Titan to go in after TRXC and sell their systems.

A really important article about Senhance!!!

FDA-approved robot assistant gives surgeons force feedback

The agency has concluded that Senhance is as accurate as the da Vinci.

Surgeons are trained to accurately operate on you when you need it, but robotic assistants could help them get to hard-to-reach areas and boost their accuracy even more. Senhance, the robotic surgical assistant that has just earned the FDA's approval, was designed to accomplish both of those. The machine can help surgeons carry out minimally invasive surgery -- in fact, the FDA has approved its use because after a pilot test involving 150 patients, the agency has concluded that Senhance is as accurate as the da Vinci robot when it came to gynecological and colorectal procedures.

According to TransEnterix, the company that developed the machine, it's the first surgical assistant for the abdominal area to get the FDA's approval since 2000. The company claims it's also the first one with eye tracking and force feedback. As you can see above, surgeons sit behind a console with a 3D view of the site of operation to control three surgical arms. Senhance's camera can follow their eye movements and show what they'd be looking at if they were manually performing the surgery on screen. The machine's controllers can also make surgeons feel the stiffness of the tissue they're operating on.

Now that Senhance has been approved by the FDA, you'll likely start seeing it -- from afar, we hope, and not while you're on the operating table -- in hospitals across the US. Here's a sample procedure being performed with the machine's help if you'd like to watch it in action.

what a pathetic hit piece.

Explain this to FL Hospital who purchased recently. To Taiwan, Japan, Germany, Italy who purchased the system.

Shorts only play dirty game. If you don't like the risk of buying don't buy it.

JPM, Aisling or other 30 funds bought millions of shares and even increased their position in TRXC.

So you are smarter than those analysts who have direct contacts to Hospitals and TRXC? Go tell them how collosal mistake they made.

White Diamond Research Article dated Nov. 14.17 White Diamond reached out to over 100 European Surgeons. The following interviews with some of those Surgeons points out that these Surgeons didn't even know about Transenterix let alone the senhanse system.

-Dr. Joachim Thuroff: "No I have not heard of Transenterix before. (They have been aggressively marketing this machine since 2015). That is a suprise to me because I'm in 2 of the centers, prefiously in Mines, and we started robotic surgery in 2007, and now I'm in Manheim, they started the robotic program in 2008 or 2009, and in these places this robot is not known. They have not gone to the Surgeons, at least in Urology.

-Dr. Evangelos Liatikos: "I am not familiar with the Transterix device. They never even contacted me even though I am the Chairman of the European Section of Urotechnology(ESUT).

-Angus McIndoe, Gynaecology Consultant: "I haven't heard about this TransEnteric robout until your email. I think no one much in the UK has heard about it.

Who said “pathetic hit piece”? Talk about disillusioned! It was quit honest regardless of their position.
