Remote surgery

Remote surgery, also known as telesurgery, involves performing surgical procedures using robotic systems controlled by a surgeon from a distant location. Using specialized equipment and high-speed internet, the surgeon's commands are transmitted to robotic arms that manipulate instruments inside the patient's body. This technology allows expert surgeons to operate on patients who are far away, offering access to specialized care in remote or underserved areas. Remote surgery improves precision, reduces patient travel, and can enhance outcomes, but it requires advanced technology, reliable connectivity, and careful coordination to ensure safety and effectiveness.
