Prof. Satava is spending a few days in Hungary, primarily as a keynote speaker at the Hungarian Surgical Society's biannual Laparo-endoscopic Congress. He gave a lecture in Herceghalom on "Robotic Surgery in the age of Directed-Energy Surgery" and another one on "Surgical Education in the are of Accountability". He envisions "single instrument which     

• performs both diagnosis & therapy    
• in real time   
• at point-of-care   
• hand-held, portable, low power  
• could be autonomous (closed-loop feedback)  
• home-based consumer product."                            

He presented their Psychomotor Multi-skill Device designed within the frames of the Fundamentals of Robotic Surgery. (The curriculum will be covered here.)
