Title:

Biomedical advances and Surgery:  Pushing the envelope in the new millennium How Minimal and Can Minimally Invasive surgery become?

Abstract:

The speaker will discuss the current revolution as we move to more minimally invasive strategies to perform procedures through small, keyhole or in some cases "No incisions".  Are there real limitations to what we can do in regards to performing big operations through "small incisions", or are we merely waiting on Biomedical Engineering to solve the current problems and catch?
