Cutting Edge is the newsletter of the International Society of Computer Aided Surgery (ISCAS). It provides a platform for informal communication among the members of the society and we welcome readers’ contributions. All the articles are posted to the new ISCAS blog at https://news.iscas.co/ and the readers are welcome to comment and discuss the articles. We hope that the newsletter and blog will encourage communication on many important aspects that are usually not discussed in technical papers and develop a fraternity within the community members.

Sincerely yours,
Cutting Edge Editors
