Exploring the Potential of Robotic Telesurgery in Remote Settings (NCT07130708)
๐ฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
This study involves a type of robotic surgery called telesurgery, where a highly trained surgeon performs the surgical procedure using a secure internet connection to operate on a patient in a different location. Urologists from The goal of this study is to find out how safe and effective telesurgery is when used in real hospitals. The study aims to understand how well Telesurgery works in different settings, what technical challenges might come up (like internet speed or delays), and how it can be used to train new surgeons.
