Thanks so much for doing this AMA! I am an undergrad Biomedical Engineering student with aspirations to work on robotic surgical devices such as the DaVinci. I was wondering how big of a difference the DaVinci robot and other brand new advances have changed your experience as a surgeon.
Does the robot make surgery easier and give you a greater success rate?
Is it also better for the patient in terms of comfort and recovery?
How important is technology in making surgery easier for the surgeon and what does that let you do that you could not do before?
Thank you for your time and is there a way I could shadow a DaVinci robot surgeon for a day to see what it is like?
