Medical robotics and computer aided surgery in general, and robotic telesurgery in particular, are promising applications of robotics. In this paper, various aspects of telesurgery are studied. After a general introduction to laparoscopic surgery and medical applications of robotics, the UC Berkeley/Endorobotics Inc./UC San Francisco Telesurgical Workstation, a master-slave telerobotic system f...

The paper is concerned with determining the feasibility of performing telesurgery over long communication links. It describes an experimental testbed for telesurgery that is currently available in our laboratory. The tesbed is capable of supporting both wired and satellite connections as well as simulated network environments. The feasibility of performing telesurgery over a satellite link with...

Now-a-days, robots are being used to perform surgery. The main advantages they provide are precision, miniaturization, smaller incisions, decreased blood loss, less pain, and quicker healing time. Robotic assistance decreases the fatigue that doctors experience during surgeries that can last several hours. Telesurgery is the ability for a doctor to perform surgery on a patient even though they ...

Robotic surgery is a surgical procedure that places a computer or a computer technology between the surgeon and patient during surgery and involves the total control of the surgeon. Telemedicine, telesurgery and robotic surgery are new concepts that are very necessary for the medical practice because of the many advantages and opportunities created. Legal and ethical implications linked to the ...

In September 2001, a hospital in Strasbourg, France, probably broke the record for the most expensive standard surgery in history by removing the gall bladder from a 68-year-old woman for the princely sum of more than €1 million. But it was not the exorbitant cost of the operation that made the headlines in the popular and biomedical press. It was the fact that it was the first example of trans...

This paper proposes a novel and efficient real time network architecture, named RT-TelSurg, for one of the most appealing tactile Internet applications, i.e., Telesurgery. In telesurgery, patient's vital signs status required robotic commands during surgery should be received on time. Otherwise, life patient or safety operation is endangered. Hence, transmitted packets meet their respective rel...

Robotic telesurgery has a potential to provide extreme and urgent health care services and bring unprecedented opportunities to deliver highly specialized skills globally. It has a significant societal impact and is regarded as one of the appealing use cases of Tactile Internet and 5G applications. However, the performance of robotic telesurgery largely depends on the network performance in ter...
