The field of remote robotic surgery has seen significant development with the start of performing distant surgical procedures in several countries worldwide. For instance, a surgeon in London performed a prostate removal on a patient in Gibraltar using a Chinese robotic system developed by Shanghai MicroPort MedBot. This technology relies on a system of robots consisting of a surgical platform and a vision table, allowing surgeons to conduct remote operations on areas such as the pelvis and stomach. Successful cases have been reported, including procedures in India and Guyana. However, the technology faces challenges related to high costs, reaching up to one million dollars, and maintenance systems that are also costly. There are additional technical limitations such as connectivity disruptions or network delays, as well as the need for complex training, and legal and ethical responsibilities concerning errors that might occur during procedures.
