Surgery's Past, Present and Robotic Future



Surgeon and inventor Catherine Mohr tours the history of surgery (and its pre-painkiller, pre-antiseptic past), then demos some of the newest tools for surgery through tiny incisions,
performed using nimble robot hands. Fascinating -- but not for the squeamish.


She is a research physician with an extensive engineering background working on evaluating emerging technologies for incorporation into surgical robots. Interested in optical and biological diagnostics, microsurgical manipulation, and development of new surgical procedures.

Catherine Mohr’s Specialties:

Surgical education, surgical procedure development in a variety of specialties, instrument design, new technology evaluation.
