Really too bad, my sister-in-law uses one of the earlier generation da Vinci robots almost daily for prostate and bladder cancer surgery, and they are amazing devices. Recovery time is minimal and complications are dramatically reduced.

The image is showing a multiport laparoscopic surgery being performed using it, which is a bit stupid. The real benefit of Robotic surgery would be performing Single-incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) through the umbilicus, through which only a handful of surgeons can do advanced procedures without the robot (am working with one of them now).]]>Apr 7th 2009 11:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/07/video-da-vinci-si-robotic-system-wants-to-be-your-surgeon/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/07/video-da-vinci-si-robotic-system-wants-to-be-your-surgeon/Apr 7th 2009 11:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/07/video-da-vinci-si-robotic-system-wants-to-be-your-surgeon/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/07/video-da-vinci-si-robotic-system-wants-to-be-your-surgeon/Apr 7th 2009 11:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/07/video-da-vinci-si-robotic-system-wants-to-be-your-surgeon/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/07/video-da-vinci-si-robotic-system-wants-to-be-your-surgeon/

The patient purchases a procedure and the revenue is split between the hospital and the surgeon. The machine could be scheduled around the clock since doctors can be in any timezone.

The surgeon can specialize in specific minor surgeries. The patient can pick their doctor online since surgeons of the futures will be like picking a seller on ebay with procedure history and ratings available for all to see.]]>Apr 7th 2009 11:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/07/video-da-vinci-si-robotic-system-wants-to-be-your-surgeon/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/07/video-da-vinci-si-robotic-system-wants-to-be-your-surgeon/Apr 7th 2009 1:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/07/video-da-vinci-si-robotic-system-wants-to-be-your-surgeon/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/07/video-da-vinci-si-robotic-system-wants-to-be-your-surgeon/Apr 7th 2009 11:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/07/video-da-vinci-si-robotic-system-wants-to-be-your-surgeon/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/07/video-da-vinci-si-robotic-system-wants-to-be-your-surgeon/Apr 7th 2009 11:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/07/video-da-vinci-si-robotic-system-wants-to-be-your-surgeon/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/07/video-da-vinci-si-robotic-system-wants-to-be-your-surgeon/Apr 7th 2009 12:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/07/video-da-vinci-si-robotic-system-wants-to-be-your-surgeon/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/07/video-da-vinci-si-robotic-system-wants-to-be-your-surgeon/Apr 7th 2009 12:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/07/video-da-vinci-si-robotic-system-wants-to-be-your-surgeon/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/07/video-da-vinci-si-robotic-system-wants-to-be-your-surgeon/Apr 7th 2009 12:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/07/video-da-vinci-si-robotic-system-wants-to-be-your-surgeon/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/07/video-da-vinci-si-robotic-system-wants-to-be-your-surgeon/Apr 7th 2009 2:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/07/video-da-vinci-si-robotic-system-wants-to-be-your-surgeon/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/07/video-da-vinci-si-robotic-system-wants-to-be-your-surgeon/]]>Apr 7th 2009 2:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/07/video-da-vinci-si-robotic-system-wants-to-be-your-surgeon/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/07/video-da-vinci-si-robotic-system-wants-to-be-your-surgeon/
