1. A surgical table comprising: A) a patient support comprising a first segment and a second segment, the first segment comprising a first end and a second end opposite the first end, the second segment comprising a third end and a fourth end opposite the third end, the first and fourth ends forming opposite ends of the patient support, the second and third ends coupled to together to define a joint about which the first segment and second segment articulate relative to each other; andB) a first support structure comprising a first vertical column and supporting a first displacement apparatus operably coupling the first vertical column to the first end of the first segment of the patient support, the first displacement apparatus comprising: a) a first rotation assembly operably coupled to the first vertical column, the first rotation assembly configured to rotate the patient support relative to the first vertical column and about an axis parallel to a longitudinal axis of the patient support;b) a first angulation assembly configured to facilitate the first segment articulating relative to the second segment about the joint, the first angulation assembly comprising: i) a first member comprising a longitudinal length extending generally parallel to a longitudinal length of the first segment of the patient support, the first member operably coupled to the first segment near the first end, wherein displacement along the longitudinal length results in a distance between the first end of the first segment of the patient support and the first vertical column changing as the first segment and second segment articulate relative to each other about the joint; andii) a first pivot located between the first end of the first segment of the patient support and the first vertical column; andc) a first structure operably coupling the first rotation assembly to the first member, the first structure extending downward from the first rotation assembly to the first member when the patient support faces generally upward, wherein the first member is operably coupled to the first structure via the first pivot, the first end of the first segment pivoting relative to the first vertical column about the first pivot when the first segment articulates relative to the second segment about the joint. 2. The surgical table of claim 1, further comprising a second support structure comprising a second vertical column and supporting a second displacement apparatus operably coupling the second vertical column to the fourth end of the second segment of the patient support, wherein the second vertical column is configured to vertically extend and retract, the second displacement apparatus comprising: a) a second rotation assembly operably coupled between the second vertical column and the fourth end of the second segment of the patient support, the rotation assembly configured to rotate the patient support relative to the second vertical column and about the axis parallel to the longitudinal axis of the patient support; andb) a second angulation assembly operably coupled between the second vertical column and the fourth end of the second segment of the patient support, the second angulation assembly configured to facilitate the second segment articulating relative to the first segment about the joint, the second angulation assembly comprising a second pivot between the second vertical column and the fourth end of the second segment of the patient support. 3. The surgical table of claim 2, wherein the second rotation assembly is located between the second angulation assembly and the second vertical column. 4. The surgical table of claim 3, wherein the second rotation assembly is located between the second pivot and the second vertical column. 5. The surgical table of claim 4, wherein the second pivot includes a pivot axis that is transverse to the longitudinal axis of the patient support. 6. The surgical table of claim 2, wherein the first rotation assembly comprises a first rotation shaft and the second rotation assembly comprises a second rotation shaft, wherein the first rotation shaft and the second rotation shaft each comprises a rotation axis that is parallel to a longitudinal axis of the patient support. 7. The surgical table of claim 6, wherein, when the patient support faces generally upward, the first pivot is located below the first rotation shaft, and the second pivot is located below the second rotation shaft. 8. The surgical table of claim 7, wherein the first pivot is suspended off the first rotation shaft, and the second pivot is suspended off the second rotation shaft. 9. The surgical table of claim 2, wherein at least one of the first vertical column or second vertical column comprises a telescopic assembly that facilitates the vertical extension and retraction of the at least one of the first vertical column or second vertical column. 10. The surgical table of claim 2, wherein the surgical table is configured such that the patient support at least tilts laterally when the patient support rotates relative to the first vertical column and second vertical column about the axis parallel to the longitudinal axis of the patient support. 11. The surgical table of claim 2, wherein the surgical table is configured such the patient support completely rotates laterally for patient roll-over when the patient support rotates relative to the first vertical column and second vertical column about the axis parallel to the longitudinal axis of the patient support. 12. The surgical table of claim 1, wherein the joint is the only articulation location in the patient support between the first and fourth ends. 13. The surgical table of claim 1, wherein a vertical distance between the first pivot and a top end of the first vertical column is adjustable. 14. The surgical table of claim 1, wherein the first member comprises a longitudinally extending slot extending generally parallel to the longitudinal length of the first segment of the patient support, and the first pivot extends through the slot, the slot being displaceable along the first pivot. 15. The surgical table of claim 1, further comprising a drive system, which in causing the first segment and the second segment to articulate relative to each other about the joint, acts on first and second locations of the patient support, the first location being near the joint and the second location being on the first segment of the patient support between the first and second ends and spaced apart from the first location. 16. The surgical table of claim 15, wherein the second location is near the first end of the first segment of the patient support. 17. The surgical table of claim 15, wherein the first location is at the joint. 18. The surgical table of claim 15, wherein the drive system comprises an element extending along at least a portion of the first segment of the patient support between the first and second locations. 19. The surgical table of claim 18, wherein the element comprises a screw drive. 20. The surgical table of claim 18, wherein, in causing the first segment and the second segment to articulate relative to each other about the joint, the drive system further acts on a third location, the third location being on the second segment of the patient support. 21. The surgical table of claim 20, wherein the element comprises a cable and the joint comprises an extension extending from the joint against which the cable acts. 22. The surgical table of claim 1, further comprising a drive system configured to articulate the first segment and the second segment relative to each other about the joint, the drive system comprising an element operably coupled to the first segment and the second segment. 23. The surgical table of claim 22, wherein the element extends along at least a portion of the first segment of the patient support. 24. The surgical table of claim 23, wherein the element comprises a cable and the joint comprises an extension extending from the joint against which the cable acts. 25. The surgical table of claim 23, wherein the element comprises a screw drive. 26. The surgical table of claim 1, wherein the joint comprises a hinged arrangement between the second end of the first segment and third end of the second segment.
