John, Hope you are feeling better. Those machines are amazing but very expensive. I remember reading about the DaVinci device speeding up recovery from some surgeries by days because of the exactness of the incisions and cutting that is done. Last I saw, these machines cost over 1 million but that was years ago. Nice that your physician had access to it. Going back to the article, I would bet that smaller, more rural centers would need to make a referrral to a major center to have their patients have access to a surgeon that has access to the device.

These robots in use today are amazing. I went in the hospital a while back with stomach pain. It turned out to be my gall bladder, which they removed with a robot. There were 4 tiny incisions about 1/4 inch each. Post op was a breeze. Virtually no pain. Gall bladder incisions used to be about 4 inches long with painful post op recovery time. And there was a lasting scar left behind. I can barely tell where they made the incisions now, they are almost gone.
