Telemedicine in surgery

Telemedicine in surgery involves using technology to provide surgical care remotely. Surgeons can consult, diagnose, and guide procedures through video calls and digital tools, allowing patients in different locations to receive expert advice without traveling. It enables remote planning, preoperative assessment, and even real-time support during surgeries in some cases. This approach increases access to specialized surgical expertise, reduces wait times, and improves patient outcomes, especially in underserved or remote areas, all while maintaining safety and accuracy.
