Abstract

OBJECTIVE: These experiments test the feasibility of tele-robotic surgery for the shipboard care of combat casualties. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: Limited research on the effects of telecommunications latency on tele-robotics has been a consistent concern in the growth of tele-robotic surgery. These experiments are designed to provide well-controlled real-world data on robotic surgical performance w…
