Under normal circumstances, surgeons and anesthesiologists work side by side in the operating room, but recently for the first time known they work half a world apart to help ailing patients in one of the most remote areas of South America. Using a well-equipped mobile operating room housed inside a converted delivery truck, a medical team led by Ronald C. Merrell, M.D., chairman of surgery at Virginia Commonwealth Universitys School of Medicine, performs surgery in South America while monitoring patients' breathing and heart rhythms on a desktop computer 3,000 miles away in Richmond.

Virginia Commonwealth University and NBC-12 teamed up to create the series called "It's VCU" to showcase this urban university, located in the heart of Richmond. VCUs diverse students, faculty and programs, superior teaching, steady growth and groundbreaking research are shaping Richmond, the state and the region.

When you have surgery, you want your doctor to have the best tools available. Through a major grant from the U.S. Army, thanks in large part to U.S. Senator Mitch McConnell, the University of Kentucky Center for Visualization and Virtual Environments is developing groundbreaking technology to improve minimally invasive surgery. NOTE: contains images from an actual surgical procedure.

Simulation: The Stanford Challenge: Getting the Feel of Surgery

2008-10-13T21:26:38.342Z

How can medical students practice surgery without placing patients at risk? Stanford surgeons and computer scientists are working together to create a hands-on surgical simulators with incredibly realistic sense of touch. Associate Professor Nikolas Blevins (Otolaryngology) and Professor Kenneth Salisbury (Computer Science and Surgery) demonstrate Stanford's surgery simulators.

The project received special funding from Bio-X, part of Stanford's Initiative on Human Health. Bio-X brings together faculty from biology, medicine, engineering, and other fields so they can join forces to benefit patients. Recorded 2007.
