As unmanned extraction vehicles become a reality in the military theater, opportunities to augment medical operations with telesurgical robotics become more plausible. This project demonstrated an experimental surgical robot using an unmanned airborne vehicle (UAV) as a network topology. Because battlefield operations are dynamic and geographically challenging, the installation of wireless netw...

With the development of communications, various applications communication technologies, such as remote driving, delivery drones, and telesurgery, are emerging. In particular, in many cases, these need real-time video transmission services, they should support low latency for operation reliability quick response emergencies. Sensor sharing is required to advanced but analysis device-to-remote u...

Historically, the optical access network (OAN) plays a crucial role of supporting emerging new services such as 4 k, 8 k multimedia streaming, telesurgery, augmented reality (AR), and virtual (VR) applications in context Tactile Internet (TI). In order to prevent losing connectivity current mobile Internet, OAN must expand capacity improve quality Services (QoS) mainly for low latency 1 ms. The...

BACKGROUND Minimally invasive surgery offers many advantages, but its correct practice is associated with a steep learning curve. Telesurgery allows a surgeon at a remote site to guide and teach surgeons at a primary site by utilizing robotic devices, telecommunications, and video technology, thereby reducing complications. PATIENTS AND METHODS From September 1998 to July 2000, 17 procedures ...

This work focuses on the design and testing of teleoperation controllers which are required to discriminate changes in compliance, addressing the question of which controller architecture performs the best in the high fidelity application of telesurgery. Three teleoperator controller architectures are compared for their ability to detect objects in compliant environments. These architectures ar...

Surgery in the 21st century will use advanced technologies such as surgical robots, three-dimensional medical imaging, computer graphics, computer simulation technology, and others. Three-dimensional medical imaging for surgical operations provides surgeons with advanced vision. A surgical robot provides surgeons with an advanced hand, but it is not a machine to perform the same action of a sur...

Within the area of telerobotic surgery no standardized means of surgically relevant performance evaluation has been established. The Society of American Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgeons (SAGES) Fundamentals of Laparoscopic Surgery (FLS) program provides a set of standardized tasks that are considered the “gold standard” in surgical skill assessment. We present a methodology for using on...

Urology has long been firmly established as a distinct subspecialty in the field of surgery. Furthermore, there are now distinct ‘super-subspecialties’, such as reconstructive urology, renal transplantation, endourology, urooncology and paediatric urology. All these ‘super subspecialties’ are changing very rapidly. More than a century ago urology constituted a small component of surgery and was...
