The field of remote robotic surgery has experienced significant advancement, as surgical procedures now rely on sophisticated robots capable of performing operations from distant locations. For example, a prostate removal surgery was carried out using a Chinese robot on a patient in London, as well as on another patient in Guyana, more than 20,000 kilometers away. Surgical robotic systems can cost up to a million dollars, with high maintenance expenses, and face technical challenges such as potential communication disruptions and response speed. Additionally, there is a need for complex training, along with legal and ethical considerations. Despite these obstacles, the technology emerges as a promising solution to assist patients in remote areas and improve access to healthcare.
