I originally chose robotic surgery but was told thats not new enough. Any suggestions

Thanks in Advance

How about Nanotech being utilized as internal tissue repairers. Not sure if it is there yet, but the idea of injecting 'nanobots' to immediately repair and damage to the body is not a new concept but it isn't in existence yet.

The idea is especially appealing with trauma victims as a nurse would be able to inject these 'nanobots' as soon as someone came in the door of an ER with traumatic injuries. They could immediately repair the injuries AND report what was injured and repaired to the onsite nurses and doctors. The uses for this in combat medicine would be even greater.

Given enough development they could be eventually be sold over the counter and used as a prophylactic. Imagine a world where babies are injected with self replicating 'nanobots' that can not only immediately repair injuries but attack bad cells, recognize emergent situations (such as cancer) and terminate then BEFORE they take hold. Parents could be assured that anything short of severe trauma like decapitation could be rendered non life threatening or at least have better survival rates.

Medics on scene at an MVA would know what injuries the person has suffered, what was repaired, what needs surgery. They could be assured that the person was not bleeding to death, etc...

Imagine a nanobot that could identify a bad gene that will lead to a bad defect in birth and remove it at the moment of conception...

I am rambling, but I think you get the concept...

It's the next generation of 'robotic' surgery... It will happen to.

:yeah:i love the idea of nanobots!

my little brother is getting his graduate degree at emory univ. in nanotechnology and biomedical engineering. one of his projects was to make a prototype of something practical for medical professionals in the future.

he called me and we brainstormed about something that i could use as a paramedic in the field, and he explained the concept of nanobots repairing tissue. so then we brainstormed to come up with a nanobot cocktail in the form of injection that you could place directly into the heart of a patient having a MI that would repair the dying tissue and prevent damage and even rupture.

i know it sounds really far fetched, but the prototype turned out really cool.
