Robotic Surgery Society formed in Memphis

Memphis Robotic Surgery Society's 30 robotic-surgery users apparently all use the da Vinci system they purchased from Sunnyvale-Calif.-based Intuitive Surgical Inc., according to the CA. An Intuitive spokesperson could not readily say yesterday whether there were similar societies elsewhere in Tennessee. She said Intuitive supports such groups ad hoc, as part of its sales promotion efforts, but the company is not directly involved in forming such groups. Nashville-based Pathfinder Therapeutics operates in a similar space, but no response from them, yet, regarding similar outreach efforts.
