are you kidding me? I have seen davinci surgeries empty the blood bank. Better visualization maybe but without tactility you get bleeding. When the PA gets punctured from lack of feel we got a problem Houston!

stapler wont address lack of tactility

It wont matter how much it costs. These dumb ass hospitals will throw any amount of money at the robot to prove they didnt waste money when they were pressured in to buying the thing.

Stapler??? You would think that a company that thinks so highly of itself would come out with an auto reloaded clip applier first. That stapler better be able to articulate in various planes since wrist movement is soooooo important.

My favorite is Astroids - But i still think the robot is a useless POS that keeps people under anesthesia longer than necessary. If youre a hack that has no laparoscopic skills it could be useful though.
