In 1991, Richard Satava, MD, PhD, FACS, surgeon and US Army colonel, gave an exceptional lecture which Professor Jacques Marescaux attended.
During this lecture, Richard Satava presented his vision of the surgery of the future, with a specific focus on the development of Internet, virtual reality, artificial intelligence, and robotics. These avant-garde ideas would give birth to IRCAD. This lecture left its mark on the mind of Professor Jacques Marescaux and his team.
Richard Satava did us the great honor of coming to IRCAD to give a lecture on the new developments that will define the future of surgery.
Richard Satava is a true visionary, and through his foresight, he has greatly influenced the IRCAD’s Research and Development (R&D) policy.
This new lecture will certainly guide the future work of the Institute once again.
