Abstract :
In our past study, we have developed a robotic tele-surgery system that is capable of performing a laparoscopic surgery within a long distance through the Internet. To show the feasibility of tele-surgery within long distance, we have conducted several times of tele-surgery experiments between Japan-Korea and Japan-Thailand. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy have been successfully performed in these tests and showed the positive feasibility of tele-surgery.
