3-D robotic surgery demonstrated at Disney


The meeting room in the Walt Disney World Yacht and Beach Club looked like one of those 1950s movie theaters with the audience wearing cardboard 3-D glasses.
The combination of medical robotics and 3-D technology allows surgeons to burrow beneath the skin to perform operations that once required opening up a patient. The combination of robotics and 3-D imagery allows to perform operations for pancreatic cancer that take less time, allows the patient to heal faster, and reduces the risks of bleeding and infections.
