That is very interesting...wow. I had my surgery in mid-April 2025, so about 14-15 months ago. I live in a major metropolitan area and my hospital is a 504 bed facility with highest level of equipment and technology. My physician has done a couple thousand DaVinci Robotic procedures. I see him in 10 days, so I'll ask him about your small incision "above" the navel as opposed to my 2 1/2' - 3" incision "below" the navel.
