Next Generation Surgeons

Surgery as a discipline has progressed tremendously over the last century. It has been an ever evolving science, achieving feats never imagined before. William Halstead regarded, as one of the founders of the modern surgery had once stated “The future of surgery now, is not what it used to be.” Though many factors, such as changing financial trends and legislative interferences have contributed to the changing landscape, the introduction of the world of technology has made a major impact. A new term, “disruptive technology” has been used (coined by Richard M Satava [1]), to signify such abrupt and radical change. Robotics has already entered the market and virtual reality with its whole armamentarium is ready to make an impact; the surgical labs are already over-clocked.
