The next generation of surgeons will be robots - and the bad news is they're shaped like snakes and will crawl inside you

The next generation of surgeons will be robots - and the bad news is they're shaped like snakes and will crawl inside you | Mail Online: "Tiny snakes that coil through human bodies armed with sharp tools such as scissors sound like the stuff of sci fi - and not the pleasant kind. But scientists and doctors are  already using the creeping metallic tools to perform surgery on hearts, prostate cancer, and other diseased organs. The next generation, though, will be wireless, and will explore inside your body on their own - unattached to any tether."
