Abstract

Medical technology has made amazing advances in the 19th and 20th centuries. Even more amazing developments are likely to occur in the centuries to come. Like those in the late 20th century, many of the 21st century's advances in medical technology will arise from the ever-increasing power, speed, and miniaturization of computers. One can think of medicine as just another aspect of the information age. What we used to think of as blood and guts are just bits and bytes, It is transferring information back and forth. The 21st century will be the age of the "Digital Physician and Robot Surgeons" This article explains the new technology and terminology which describes the involvement of Robotics in Surgery.
