I work at a “satellite” facility, but the larger main facility has one.

We use ours for prostates, donor nephrectomies and colorectal surgery. We're looking at donor hepatectomies.

yes, the hospital I work for has one and we've been doing prostatectomies and hysterectomies. We just returned from a Da Vinci conference held at UNC Chapel Hill and found it to be very informative even though it was geared more toward Surgeons and administration. The nurses there suggested they give more breakout sessions geared toward nursing.

Yes, we have one. However it's gathering dust burried in a corner because the one surgeon that used it is gone now.

We use ours in Gyn/Onc Sx, not sure about other specialties, lots of postop complications though, I wouldn't want one used on me....xould just be the technique of the surgeon doing most of the cases
