From Swedish hospital YouTube channel<\/a>: Dr. James Porter, medical director of robotic surgery at Swedish folds a small paper airplane with the da Vinci robot to demonstrate how this device gives surgeons greater surgical precision and dexterity over existing approaches. <\/p>

With over 600,000 views, this video undoubtedly brings good publicity to the hospital.<\/p>

However, the robot costs on average $1.3 million, in addition to several hundred thousand dollars of annual maintenance fees. Surgical procedures performed with the robot take longer than traditional ones. Critics say that hospitals have a hard time recovering the cost and that most clinical data does not support the claim of improved patient outcomes.<\/p>

The manufacturer Intuitive Surgical has sold more than 1,000 units worldwide.<\/p>

Westby Fisher, MD @doctorwes:  Surgeon Folds and Throws Paper Airplane Using da Vinci Robot (video) bit.ly\/KG2EG6 - Manual faster, no?<\/p>

PDara MD, FACP @JediPD:  da Vinci good for that<\/p>

Skeptical Scalpel @Skepticscalpel:  Finally a use. Maybe the airplanes could have the hospital's logo on them. Folding a paper airplane. Amazing feat by a surgical robot? I think not.

Jenaro Fdez-Valencia @JenaroFV_MD: after all ... it doesn't fly! If he did a boat instead, it would work. Can he try?<\/p>
