Yeah, I believe this could be targetted at newer surgeons who may not be particulary proficient yet. I had more than one doctor state that training and experience are very important due to the difficulty of this type of surgery. I think most of us have agreed that choosing the right doctor is more important even than the type of device.

I can imagine someone who is not in the know being told by their doctor they need ADR and not realizing how new this is here in the U.S. so not thinking to find out how much experience their doctor may or may not have. A lot of people still think of their doctors as a minor deity and will not question them, unfortunately.
