Benefits of technology

[0027]For purposes of this summary, certain aspects, advantages, and novel features of the invention are described herein. It is to be understood that not necessarily all such advantages may be achieved in accordance with any particular embodiment of the invention. Thus, for example, those skilled in the art will recognize that the invention may be embodied or carried out in a manner that achieves one advantage or group of advantages as taught herein without necessarily achieving other advantages as may be taught or suggested herein.

In addition, because of personnel and cost restraints the assistant provided to the surgeon is typically not trained in the particular surgical procedure to be performed, so that the interaction between the surgeon and assistant may not be particularly efficient.
