You are so good at keeping up on the improvements for TX. If you do get a chance to question some surgeons on TOR, would you mind asking how long it takes a surgeon to get competent with this variant of the DaVinci system?
Our own Doc Brooks story about his surgeon doing the new laser surgery for the first time and the horrific results is a cautionary tale about how experience does really matter in surgery with these new technologies.
When I had to have root canals after my first radiation TX, my prosthodontist sent me to a specialist who did them while looking thru a high powered microscope the entire time. He said it took him three years to get really good with it.
TORS sounds really promising but it was not quite ready for prime time when I needed it. I've been reading glowing newspaper reports all the time on it by patients in my google reader.
