Tele-mentoring is an interactive experimental method that allows young surgeons' education by distant learning tutoring of an expert surgeon. The problem about assessment of efficacy and quality of computer-assisted instruction is under evaluation today. Tele-mentoring is supported by videoconferencing system and it is not an exclusive methodology but an additional methodology to traditional didactic for clinicians and surgeons. It allows personal virtual trainings by computers and telecommunication systems. Videoconference allows tutoring for telemedicine, teletriage and telesurgery also.

Does the type of biomesh influence recurrence in abdominal wall reconstruction? A long-term follow-up to a randomized controlled trial.

Can J Surg

From the Departments of Surgery (Punia, Ball, Kirkpatrick, Clements), Critical Care Medicine (Kirkpatrick), and the Trauma Program (Kirkpatrick), Cumming School of Medicine, University of Calgary, Calgary, Alta.

SummaryThis discussion describes the long-term follow-up of a prospective randomized controlled trial evaluating the performance of the 2 most common biomesh products utilized in the context of complex abdominal wall reconstructions. Although the incidence of hernia recurrence increased over time to 26% (median follow-up 62 mo), both biomesh products performed similarly. Biomesh product choice should remain cost-conscious.

The shortage of surgeons in rural hospitals is a serious problem in Japan. In this study, we investigated the potential contribution of surgical telementoring systems to improving surgical skills and resolving the shortage of surgeons in rural hospitals. The conference room at Tokushima University was connected to the operating room at Miyoshi Hospital, a rural hospital approximately 75 km away, via a virtual private network.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative tool in surgery, particularly in telesurgery and telementoring. However, its potential to enhance data transmission efficiency and reliability in these fields remains unclear. While previous reviews have explored the general applications of telesurgery and telementoring in specific surgical contexts, this review uniquely focuses on AI models designed to optimise data transmission and mitigate delays.

Introduction: Telementoring could increase the quality, reduce the time, and increase cost efficiency of the proctoring program for robot-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE). However, feasibility is unclear as no studies assessed telementoring for RAMIE.

Methods: The feasibility of telementoring was assessed during the thoracic part of RAMIE procedures in three high-volume centers.
