da Vinci

I've been reading Angels & Demons by the same author of Da Vinci's code. It's an absolute thumbs up! Well, coincidentally, Singapore has started to offer robot surgery using da Vinci Surgical System. I heard with this robot, countless complex operations have now become minimally invasive procedures. It's amazing how we usually lose 600-800cc of blood during surgery, but with this robot, it's just abt 100cc. Sounds like this new type of surgery can potentially make surgery less painful and traumatic ;)
