Area of Science:

Urology
Robotic Surgery
Telesurgery

Background:

The urological community in North America has adopted robotic technology for complex laparoscopic surgeries.
Further research is needed to evaluate the clinical application of complex long-distance telesurgery.

Purpose of the Study:

To assess the feasibility of robot-assisted pyeloplasty using telesurgery in a porcine model.
To evaluate the impact of network connections (IP-VPNe and satellite) on surgical outcomes.

Main Methods:

Eighteen laparoscopic robot-assisted pyeloplasties were performed in pigs using the Zeus robot.
Procedures were conducted using real-time, IP-VPNe, and satellite network connections (six of each).
Network performance and objective surgical data were collected.

Main Results:

Robot-assisted pyeloplasty was feasible despite network delays and jitter.
No significant detriment in operative time or surgical results was observed compared to real-time surgery.

Conclusions:

Complex surgical tasks, like robotic pyeloplasty, can be completed via land-line and satellite telesurgery.
The clinical relevance and application of telesurgery require additional investigation.
