Emily Spooner: If I won the lottery today, I would purchase a Da Vinci robot and all maintenance contracts and disposables for five years. We would be able to accommodate the bariatric surgeons and their patients' needs. We would be able to increase our volumes and produce even better outcomes in the bariatric space. I would also build out my existing sterilization room, including a new instrument washing machine, ultrasonic and reprocessor.
