Steven Schwaitzberg: A universal translator for surgeons





Laparoscopic surgery uses minimally invasive incisions -- which means less pain and shorter recovery  times for patients.

But Steven Schwaitzberg has run into two problems teaching these techniques to surgeons around  the world -- language and distance. 

He shares how a new technology, which combines video conferencing and a real-time universal translator, could help. (Filmed at TEDxBeaconStreet.)
