Folks might be interested to know that this is for Transoral Robotic Surgery for OSA.

I am inferring from googling this procedure that this is experimental in the US. But I quickly glanced at the links so I could be mistaken.

I would like to see a bit more details. Looks like the same writer is quoted in many news articles. Lack of good journalism these days.

Great point and one I didn't notice initially. Yup, I have noticed in alot of health articles the journalism is horrible.

Does this mean that one day you will be able to purchase an OSA Surgery at WALMART?
