24 Tele Surgery Tele surgery involves a surgical procedure with the surgeon being situated remotely from the patient. For tele- surgery robotic platforms (Da Vinci) were designed using connections that permitted surgery to be performed with the surgeon at a console at a distance from bedside robot and patient in operation theatre. This permits the surgeon to perform surgery in another room, another building or another continent..

28 Telementoring Telementoring involves procedural guidance of one professional by another from a distance using telecommunications. This involves audio dialogue, video demonstrations, and in some cases surgical robots. It is feasible and relatively inexpensive, and widespread adoption would require an evolution in surgical thinking.
