The development in technology will still to continue to increase dramatically since we already have the capacity to assess and evaluate existing systems faster than ever before because we already have tech stuff that we can safely say super-computers, after the evaluation therefore we find some room for improvement for that existing system then we continue to improve then the cycle repeats.

This rapid development will surely impact the medical field in a very positive way as computers will surely continue to become a reliable device that will aid generally all kinds of medical procedure, just like what you mentioned its uses in surgery. Aside from VR, Nano-technology is undeniably will pave its way a dramatic improvement in surgery. Real-time holographic presentation of what is inside the body for analysis before surgery, and how about a robot programmed to conduct tons of medical procedures. All these things are already realities maybe not yet perfected but we are getting closer everyday.
