Abstract
In a wide-ranging address to the Diplomates, Professor Marescaux of the Institute for Research into Cancer of the Digestive System (IRCAD)/European Institute of Telesurgery (EITS) considers the nature of surgery and the changing role of the surgeon in modern times.

Despite the rapidly changing face of medical technology, he argues persuasively for the indispensable role of the surgeon in providing compassion and care.
