Educating surgeons is a time-consuming process. In addition to theoretical knowledge, the practical tasks of surgical procedures must be mastered. Translation of such knowledge from mentor to mentee may be efficiently done by surgical telementoring (ST). This is a review on surgical telementoring. Recent technological advances have made this tool in surgical education more available and applicable but future applications of ST have to be wisely guided by high-quality trials.

Minimally Invasive Surgery Deserts: Is There a Role for Robotic Assisted Surgery?
JSLS
January 2025
Department of Surgery, Mayo Clinic Arizona, Phoenix, AZ. (Dr. Fong).
Despite evidence indicating patient and hospital benefits of minimally invasive surgery (MIS) over open surgery, there is still access barriers to MIS. Availability of training and associated learning curve, health literacy, and hospital characteristics (location, size) have been identified as the primary barriers to the adoption of MIS. Robotic assisted surgery could help to overcome some of these barriers and increase access to MIS through easier tele-mentoring and potential for remote access.

Purpose: To determine the level of uptake of telemedicine among postgraduate obstetrics and gynaecology (O&G) trainees in London, and how they perceive its impact on their training.
Methods: A mixed-methods survey aimed at exploring trainee perspectives of telemedicine use in clinical practice and its implications for training. Study participants were O&G specialist doctors on the London (UK) training programme.
Does the type of biomesh influence recurrence in abdominal wall reconstruction? A long-term follow-up to a randomized controlled trial.

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.

Department of Surgery, Tokushima University, Tokushima, Japan.
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.
