Information and Communication Technology Trends in Telesurgery
Journal Title: Journal of Surgery and Surgical Research - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
In 2001 a woman underwent a cholecystectomy in Strasbourg, France. What was new? The surgical team who performed the operation was 14,000 km away, in New York [1]. It was the first case of remote robotic surgery. The operation had no complications and the patient had a decent postoperative follow-up. This epoch-making event was dedicated to Charles Lindbergh, the pioneering American aviator who flew across the Atlantic in 1927.
