Area of Science:

  • Medical technology
  • Surgical innovation
  • Telemedicine

Background:

  • Telesurgical laparoscopic telementoring has been successfully implemented in prior domestic operations.
  • Previous telementoring occurred between institutions 3.5 miles apart.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the clinical utility of international surgical telementoring.
  • To evaluate the feasibility of remote surgical guidance across continents.

Main Methods:

  • Two international laparoscopic procedures were telementored: an adrenalectomy (Austria to MD) and a varicocelectomy (Thailand to MD).
  • Both operations utilized three ISDN lines (384 kbps) with a 1-second delay.

Main Results:

  • Both international telementored laparoscopic procedures were successfully completed.
