The fusion of digital technologies and minimal access surgical techniques is a significant step in the science of general surgery. The convergence of computers, micro-machines, remote manipulators, energy-directed-therapies, human interface technologies, 3-D visualization, and virtual reality should allow surgeons in the not-too-distant future to perform predominantly non-invasive procedures on patients located anywhere from a few feet to a few time zones away. This book aims to be an introduction to these advanced ...

The fusion of digital technologies and minimal access surgical techniques is a significant step in the science of general surgery. The convergence of computers, micro-machines, remote manipulators, energy-directed-therapies, human interface technologies, 3-D visualization, and virtual reality should allow surgeons in the not-too-distant future to perform predominantly non-invasive procedures on patients located anywhere from a few feet to a few time zones away. This book aims to be an introduction to these advanced technologies and their emerging relevance to surgical practice.
