What Is Remote Surgery?

Telesurgery

Telesurgery

The combination of virtual reality technology and network technology can enable doctors to perform certain operations on remote patients themselves. The same process is applied to surgery, which is "remote surgery". That is to say, doctors perform surgical operations based on the transmitted live images, and every action can be converted into digital information and transmitted to remote patients to control the movement of local medical equipment. This may seem strange at first glance, but it is not difficult to understand the fact that many surgical operations are now performed by manipulating instruments under endoscopic surveillance. It is really just to make the "endoscope" and "instrument" longer. Of course, this kind of surgery has high requirements on the expert's operation skills and related equipment. The world's first experimental telesurgery was successfully performed in 1999.
