Heard on Radio Moscow World Service shortwave this weekend:

the Soviets have a new computer-controlled cutting device they use for
RK surgery, which makes the cuts much more precisely and uniformly.
(Don't know if such devices are in use here or not, so this may be
an advance over Western techniques or maybe not... The Soviets did
originate RK surgery, right?)
