Virtual reality technologies soon to be introduced into surgery
Robot assisted and tele-robotic surgery are soon to be introduced into
selected surgical disciplines. Other anticipated surgical developments
described by McCloy and Stone (p 912) include computerised simulations
for training purposes and the use of virtual reality simulators to
interact with medical images for surgical planning and training, to
assess surgeons' fitness to practise, and to guide micro-robots
undertaking minimally invasive interventions.
