Earnings to come after hours today

Don't worry about me. I bought before 510k clearance and sold during fomo period above $5. I have bought back some since. TRXC robot is safer, faster and cheaper for many procedures relative to Da Vinci. ISRG has the mind share for now.

You know the saying about giving the man enough rope ... in this case RJ aka Richard Johnson.

Um Nope.

Alf Times are not even close to Laparscopic and if you don’t know how RASD procedures are timed (and you don’t) you really shouldn’t be arguing. Davinci tahbso takes 25 minutes.

Instead of a TRXC sponsored Vimeo pump, look at the data sofar Surgeons submitted during clinical trials.

The study titled: Total Laparoscopic (S-LPS) versus TELELAP ALF-X robotic-assisted hysterectomy: a case-control study
The results of this study were similar to the previous one. It was published in October 2016. For the ALF-X group, the median operative time was 147 minutes. For the standard laparoscopic group, the median operative time was 80 minutes. Procedures were performed without conversion in 94.3% of cases in the ALF-X group, and in all cases in the standard laparoscopic group. Again, conversions were only needed in the ALF-X group.
Early postoperative pain was significantly lower in the standard laparoscopic group. This makes sense, as the ALF-X causes more pain since it's a longer surgery, the Senhance instruments in a patient's body are ripping up more tissues and organs

As of late June 2018, no surgical robotics, DV or otherwise deployed to war regions. DARPA has experimented in the past. Seems it would be way cheaper to fly someone out to Germany to get lower ab surgery. There are no war wounds surgical robots afaik. It is always entertaining to hear a non-scientist on the attack because he thinks he is the best scientist in the room.

Science doesn’t care what you think.

Human motion vs lap motion? Are you making this up as you go along? I’ve been in the OR for 18 years, 6K hours RASD under my belt and now I’m watching someone who’s never seen a #11 blade make up words.

Jesus.

Those instruments move like that FOR EVERY SURGEON. It’s part of the software.

Lesson over.

Wrong on both.. RASD Times are calculated by CONSOLE time.

Lesson over.

The times are skin to skin in the NIH article, not just the cut times. If you want to compare apples to apples, Senhance total hysterectomy times are about the same. It will also depend on how many procedures the surgeon has under his/her belt with whatever system is being used. The surgeon in the video you posted is excellent as the instruments move like it is part of her body, and she can probably do origami with her skills.

For Senhance times, See https://vimeo.com/216529572 for example.

I agree wrt articulation, that the DV is more human like. However, with cables, you are limited on miniaturization and IMO Xi instruments are at limit. IMO Senhance articulation is good enough to address many procedures. DV will still be best for prostate, the other CEO has said so and stated in a conference call that if he had to undergo prostate resection, he would pick DV. The software change I wrote about is mostly regarding human motion vs lap motion.

Your post reference isn’t only for a TAHBSO, It includes staging
for cancer which involves pelvic lymph node dissection.

20 minute TAHBSO times are easy and all over YouTube. We’ve personally logged console times of 9 minutes.

Here’s one at 13 minutes.

Articulation will be available on Senhance at 5mm probably mid-2019 in the US. You do realize that going from lap motion to DV like motion is just software, although I don't see them doing unless there is desire to go head to head with isrg.

Where did you get the time of 20 minutes for DV TAHBSO?

Didn't know about Afgan remote procedures. Where can I read about it and do you know what type and how many were done?

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3904541/

Above link shows average DV tahbso times of ~200+ minutes

Not a selling point? Tell that to the military vets who were operated on Remotely during Afghanistan. Is it selling point now. Probably not in civilian applications.

What you failed to mention as a selling point is Articulation.

As for “bells and whistles”. You need to do some research, the Xi is absolutely worth it but if your interested in saving money on the INITAL CAPEX purchase, Hospitals can go with the Davinci X that costs 130K less than senhance.

What you mentioned to be “important” just isn’t. If it was, senhance Patients wouldn’t be experiencing more post op pain due to excessive surgical times (145 minutes vs Davinci’s 20 minutes) on a TAHBSO. Forget about LAR’s with senhance.

That covers 90% of lower abdominal RASD procedures.

Want to try again?

Bought here @ $503, great company - tons of potential.

Thank you nowlurking! I learned a lot today!

The other CEO has stated that they try to avoid being used as leverage against ISRG. But there may be instances where lower abdominal capabilities do overlap (not urology, DV is clearly better for that) and you don't need all the bells and whistles of a DV.

I only know of one instance of remote "surgery" demonstrated in a clinical setting. Operator was in the US at a conference and clinic was in Italy. Not a selling point for any systems IMO for now. Haptics, atraumaticity and automation are more important IMO.

So far they are approved essentially for different surgeries. I wonder whether they have somewhat of a "non-compete" understanding. There is plenty of room for both.

Also, do you know of any company working on a remote surgical system?

It will be interesting to see what happens at Houston Methodist. Heavy users of Da Vinci are evaluating Senhance now.

TRXC is shadowing what ISRG should be doing at this point, popping! The only two approved and marketing robotic surgery companies in the USA; both with great growth and future potential.
