Surgery has come a long way from the crude methods of the past to the refined techniques of the present. Improvements in techniques and tools have made minimal-access procedures increasingly available. Growing popularity of laproscopy has resulted in greater numbers of patients available for outcomes analysis. In future remote handling technology will overcome the manipulative restriction in the current instruments. Robotic arms with multiple degress of freedom let a surgeon achieve a degree of dexterity which is amiss in rigid laparoscopic instruments. The future is knocking on the door and banging hard, but, as with all forms of technology, it depends upon how good the training is, and how much the learning curve can be shortended.
