将机器人和计算机技术引入外科手术可以提高灵活性，并且可以远距离进行外科手术（远程手术）。但到目前为止，由于现有电信线路的时滞，远程远程手术的可行距离被认为仅限于几百英里。在这里，我们展示了机器人辅助的远程远程手术可以跨洋安全地进行。从远程位置执行复杂手术操作的能力将消除地理限制，并使世界各地都能获得手术专业知识，从而改善患者治疗和手术培训。
The introduction of robotic and computer technology into surgical operations allows dexterity to be increased,,and surgical procedures to be carried out from a distance (telesurgery). But until now, the distance feasible for remote telesurgery was considered to be limited to a few hundred miles by the time lag of existing telecommunication lines. Here we show that robot-assisted remote telesurgery can be safely carried out across transoceanic distances. The ability to perform complex surgical manipulations from remote locations will eliminate geographical constraints and make surgical expertise available throughout the world, improving patient treatment and surgical training.
