AbstractSurgical operations have developed in the method which skillful surgeon's hands and eyes are used. However, to realize a new surgical therapy in the 21st century, it is necessary to use various advanced technologies; surgical robots, three dimensional medical images, computer graphics, computer simulation technology and others. Three dimensional medical image for surgical operation provides surgeons with advanced vision. Surgical robots provide surgeons with advanced hand, but it is not a machine to do the same action of a surgeon using scissors or a scalpel. The advanced vision and hands available to surgeons are creating new surgical fields which are minimally invasive surgery, non-invasive surgery, virtual reality micro-surgery, tele-surgery, fetus surgery, neuro-informatics surgery and others in the 21st century.
