Article Synopsis
- The study explores the feasibility of telesurgical robotic gastrectomy using the hinotori™ Surgical Robot System, particularly for complex procedures like D2 lymphadenectomy.
- Researchers first assessed suturing times in a virtual model before conducting actual surgeries with a surgeon and patient unit connected by a high-speed 10-Gbps fiber optic network.
- Results showed a minimal latency time of 27 ms during actual telesurgeries, leading to the successful completion of two robotic gastrectomies without complications, indicating that short-distance telesurgical surgery can be safely conducted.
