So, what caused it? Was it a defect in the instrument or something else?And I thought the tip cover defects were resolved.

“The scrub tech informed the csr that he believes that there were possible instrument collisions during the case.”
Sad to say but these things happen. Not a reflection on the device! But on how the device is used. Sometimes best to keep your mouth shut until you have all the facts. This horse has been beaten or years and never gained any traction. Sit back down and wait for the facts before you stir up shit. Did it work the first time probably won’t work this time. Just ask Albert. I’m sure he’s happy with the results of all his he’ll raising.
Saw my first case recently.
A few thoughts about why the robot trend will not last.
1. It easily adds 30 min to hour to each case just to set up the robot. TIME IS MONEY and these cases eat up OR time.
2. Where is the proof that robot cases are clinically more efficacious than standard lap surgery. I'm suppose to believe that more "precise cuts" is going to lead to quicker healing time for patients. Proof is in the pudding and right now all their is, is delicious looking pudding.
My conclusion is Robotics is catching on with hospitals because it is becoming another marketing tool so they can tell their pt's that they have Robotics. Thats it... period.
THAT IS THE RUB....
REALLY ROBOTICS IS CLEARLY THE BIGGEST MEDICAL SCAM OF THIS CENTURY!!!
