More of an educational piece about the potential risks associated with the surgery, including current training practices, along with pressure from hospitals for surgeons to perform more surgeries with Intuitive Surgical's da Vinci given the robots steep $1.5 million price tag.

Shares are up about 1 percent on the session.
