Advancing Humanitarian Healthcare: Exploring the Potential of Robotic Telesurgery in Remote Settings - A Multicentric Prospective Study
AdventHealth
Summary
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.

Inclusion Criteria: * Age 18 - 90 * Male or female * Eligible participants for this telesurgery study must have a clearly defined indication for robotic urologic surgery, specifically: * Localized Prostate Cancer (ICD-10: C61), appropriate for robotic radical prostatectomy. OR -Benign Prostate diseases appropriate for robotic simple prostatectomy (ICD-10: N40) These diagnoses are confirmed by clinical examination, imaging, and/or pathology prior to surgical planning. Patients with vague or unspecified urologic conditions will be excluded to ensure the safety and appropriateness of the su…
