Case study: Robot-assisted surgery (da Vinci surgical systems)
- We believe that the da Vinci system is a forerunner of how a majority of complex surgeries will be done over the coming decade or two, at least in the developed economies. With aging populations, the market size will grow faster than the population. As new entrants go after this opportunity prices are bound to drop significantly. The da Vinci Surgical System is the world's most advanced robotic system for minimally-invasive surgeries. The da Vinci system is particularly well-suited for surgeries that require a very high degree of precision, dexterity, and control. In a sense, this robotic system expands the surgeon's capabilities. There are benefits for the patient too who undergoes only a one to two-centimeter-long incision resulting in much less trauma, much faster healing, and shorter hospital stays as compared with open surgeries. These benefits come with very high upfront investment by the hospital. Each da Vinci…
