I just found this article on my tech dirt feed on my Google home page
I find it both fascinating and scary. The thought of having your life at the hands of a robot like that kinda unnerves me especially with the technology just starting to blossom like this. How ever its amazing that they were even able to automate the procedure giving robotic science a huge leap forward.

Robots in surgery is not really something new. It has been around for many many years. If you are not too squeamish, follow some of these links. Personally, I find this stuff fascinating, I hope you do as well.
Knee Replacement
One of my favorites. I actually got to see this in action in Sacramento.
Good basic descriptions
Cardiac surgery
Excellent synopsis.

(I tried to limit the links to "non-surgical images" to help reduce some of the "shock" factor.)
