Insights from telesurgery expert conference on recent clinical experience and current status of remote surgery.
Article in Journal of robotic surgery, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 2 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 28 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Abstract
Remote surgery provides opportunity for enhanced surgical capabilities, wider healthcare reach, and potentially improved patient outcomes. The network reliability is the foundation of successful implementation of telesurgery. It relies on a robust, high-speed communication network, with ultra-low latency. Significant lag has been shown to endanger precision and safety. Furthermore, the full-fledged adoption of telerobotics demands careful consideration of ethical challenges too. A deep insight into these issues has been investigated during the first Telesurgery Consensus Conference that took place in Orlando, Florida, USA, on the 3rd and 4th of February, 2024. During the Conference, the state of the art of remote surgery has been reported from robotic systems displaying telesurgery potential. The Hinotori, a robotic-assisted surgery platform developed by Medicaroid, experienced remote surgery as pre-clinical testing only; the Edge Medical Company, Shenzen, China, reported more than one hundred animal and 30 live human surgeries; the KanGuo reported human telesurgical cases performed with distances more than 3000 km; the Microport, China, collected more than 100 human operations at a distance up to 5000 km. Though, several issues-cybersecurity, data privacy, technical malfunctions - are yet to be addressed before a successful telesurgery implementation. Expanding the discussion to encompass ethical, financial, regulatory, and legal considerations is essential too. The Telesurgery collaborative community is working together to address and establish the best practices in the field.
