Ok. But over the long term isn't the hope of the robotic method to make the treatment available to more people, perhaps at hospitals that normally wouldn't offer such things.

Certainly, as the method is being vetted and perfected that too needs to be factored into the evaluation?

How could it be offered at places that don't offer it? The robot is autonomous it is controlled by a surgeon.
