Most people would consider robotic surgery a modern concept; however, it has been in existence since 1985 when the robotic arm, the PUMA 560, performed a brain-tissue biopsy using CT guidance. Author Prashad Navaranjan skillfully takes the reader on a fascinating journey exploring robotic surgery's origin up to September 2010 where the first robotic surgery guided entirely robotically takes place in Ljubljana, Slovenia.  Navaranjan takes his time in covering the enormous benefits that robotic surgery has to offer now and in the future. This book is professionally written and illustrated yet very easy to read and understand.
