Paul Carter has been to one major robot manufacturer's centre of operations and looks at the future of robotic surgery, as well as getting an inside look at some real-life surgery.

Paul Carter has been to one major robot manufacturer's centre of operations and looks at the future of robotic surgery, as well as getting an inside look at some real-life surgery.
