Robots might be the future of surgery, but it wasn’t always this way. Surgery was once very primitive and extensive. Anyone interested in the not only the history of surgery but also it’s future should watch this fascinating TED talk by surgeon and inventor Catherine Mohr.
Warning: Not for the squemish. Catherine takes us on a tour of the history of surgery in all it’s pre-painkiller, pre-antiseptic glory and then head to the present and future with demos of some of the newest tools for surgery, nimble robot hands able to work through the smallest of surgical incisions.
