Robotic vs. Open Prostate Surgery The Henry Ford Hospital has an interesting video clip describing the daVinci Robotic Surgical system (wmv, 16.8MB). Despite the rather disturbing sappy-feel-good soundtrack, and Dr. Mani Menon's comparison of the removal of the cancerous prostate to scuba diving or The Fantastic Voyage, the combination of computer-enhanced visualization and robotic surgery looks pretty amazing.
