What happens when the network fails? A response to telesurgery recommendations and a proposal for a new class of intraoperative complications in telesurgery.
Article in Journal of robotic surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
This Letter to the Editor responds to the recent publication by Patel et al. (J Robot Surg. Jul 11;19(1):370, 2025), which outlines a framework and recommendations for telesurgery. Their work identifies the most suitable network connections and the need for redundancy systems to reduce network failures, while also prompting further reflections on additional implications. In particular, it led us to consider the exclusive challenges of telesurgery, which we identified primarily in a new category of complications related to network connectivity, alongside the well-established clinical and technical complications of traditional and robotic surgery. This correspondence further emphasizes the ongoing transformation of surgery from a direct interaction between surgeon and patient to a coordinated team-based practice involving assistants, machines, and technical specialists. By addressing these emerging challenges, this commentary highlights the necessity of re-evaluating safety assumptions in telesurgical practice.
