remote surgery
Operating from afar
Remote surgery is a surgical procedure performed by a surgeon who is physically distant from the patient, using robotic instruments and real-time video to operate from another location.
The technology enables specialists to treat patients in remote areas or war zones without traveling: The cardiac procedure was performed via remote surgery from a hospital three thousand miles away.
Also called telesurgery.
