This study introduces a novel telepresence system for prostatectomy, enabling surgeons to perform the procedure remotely using a master and slave arm system. This innovation facilitates remote surgeries with ultramillimetric precision for the first time.

Area of Science:

  • Robotics and Surgical Technology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Telemedicine

Context:

  • Telepresence technology enables remote operation of robotic systems.
  • Prostatectomy is a common surgical procedure with potential for remote application.
  • Unique conditions in Turkey facilitate advanced telemanipulation research.

Purpose:

  • To develop a telepresence system for remote prostatectomy.
  • To enable surgeons to perform prostatectomies from distant locations.
  • To leverage telemanipulator technology for surgical procedures.

Summary:

  • A slave arm equipped with a resectoscope was developed for ultramillimetric precision in prostatectomy movements.
  • The slave arm is teleoperated by a surgeon using a master arm that simulates a working element.
