Let me elaborate on the “hand gesture control” concept. In traditional surgery there is a direct interaction between surgeon and patient. Laparoscopy is the revolutionary breakthrough where for the first time there is a technological interface between surgeon and patient. I believe this is a radical enabling step since this interface can now be modified endlessly by technology. Today we remain shackled by the surgeon using his hand to manipulate the tools. The DaVinci robot was one of the first steps whereby the direct line of touch between surgeon and patient has been interrupted by a computer controlled interface.
