Default Zero G surgery done by Europe

Europe/France did an experimental 0g surgery abourd a specially equipped
Airbus A300 aircraft that did parabolic trajectory to provide short
periods of 0 G to perform surgery.

This was the removal of a small skin cancer on a volunteer's arm(so not
a deep internal surgery).

I wonder how long it will take before similar surgey is attempted on ISS
(probably once Columbus is up).
