Abstract

With the help of wireless transmission and internet, doctors can diagnose and treat the patient without seeing the patient in front of the doctor. Even though the history of robotic surgery is short and have many limitation, as the laparoscopic surgery have overcome the limitation, we can do the robotic surgery as freely as the open surgery in the near future. And virtual reality has a great potential to revolutionize several aspects of medicine and surgery, such as medical education and surgical training, telemedicine and telesur gery. With the development of nanotechnology and microelectromechanical system, the surgical instrument and robotic system can be made as small as 1 or 2 mm for they can be inserted through small vessel and can be navigated through vessels for diagnosis and treatment of disease.
