Abstract

Nanomedicine is the application of nanotechnology to the medical field. Nanotechnology deals with structures in the range of 1–100 nm and focuses on the development of materials with novel properties. As a result it is considered as a key technology of the twenty-first century and promises to deliver innovative methods to medicine in general and to surgery in particular. Clinical studies will deal with nanotechnology-based cancer treatment and innovative nanocontainers for targeted drug delivery and more efficient treatment. Nanotechnology will start a new era in medicine which will offer sophisticated methods for diagnosis, therapy and prevention. These tools will be a challenge to efficient education and training of surgeons.
