Researcher brings space age to surgery equipment, procedures

tive to the technology, and if they can be taken care of in their own community, there's a benefit," he said.

For example, a surgeon in Canada, Dr. Mehran Anvari, has conducted more than two dozen robotic telesurgeries via the Canadian telephone system on patients who were 250 miles away. Robotic telesurgery may also bring specialized surgical skills to military field hospitals where they may be in short supply.

Neither Hannaford nor Moses say that robotic telesurgery will be on the battlefield next month or next year but they do believe that with hard work it will be there in the not-too-distant future.

"We're not talking about something that's going to be immediately available, but if we don't do this research now, we will not have the option of having surgical intervention remotely or robotically (on the battlefield)," Moses said.
