本文介绍了日本内窥镜手术区域远程监护网络。该电信中心设在大坂大学，自1997年以来一直使用6个ISDN B信道。该网络由五家远程医院组成，目的是对成员医院的年轻外科医生进行远程教育，不仅用于常规内窥镜手术的远程教育，而且用于先进手术的远程指导。随着远程监护在外科手术中的重要性逐渐被认识到，日本其他地区正在考虑采用我们的模式建立几个网络。虽然广泛和普遍传播的外科手术仍然存在一些问题，如费用和隐私保护，但共享外科专家的有限资源将有利于防止专业隔离，并有望为患者接受先进的外科治疗做出贡献。
This paper introduces a regional telementoring network for endoscopic surgery in Japan. The telecommunication center was established at Osaka University and it has been operational since 1997 using six ISDN B-channels. The network, composed of five remote hospitals, aimed at tele-educating young surgeons in constituent hospitals, was applied not only to tele-education in routine endoscopic surgery, but also to telementoring in advanced operations. As the significance of telementoring in surgery has been gradually recognized, several networks following our model are now under consideration in other areas of Japan. Although there remain several problems with the wide and general propagation of telesurgery, such as the expenditure and privacy protection, it will be beneficial to prevent professional isolation to share the limited resources of surgical experts, and it is expected to contribute to patients receiving advanced surgical therapies.
