The term telepresence operations is primarily found in the fields of robotics, artificial intelligence, and virtual and augmented reality. It refers to medical procedures where a surgeon is not directly at the patient's side but operates remotely using cutting-edge technology. This involves the use of robots controlled by specialist physicians via the internet or special control devices. Modern cameras, sensors, and fast data transmission enable the surgeon to survey the situation in real-time and perform precise interventions.
A vivid example: A specialist in Berlin can operate on a patient in Munich without being there themselves. The doctor controls a robotic arm, which for example removes a tumour. Telepresence surgery can overcome geographical barriers and provide patients everywhere with the expertise of top medical professionals.
Telepresence surgery offers many advantages, such as faster access to experts and shorter journeys for patients. At the same time, safety plays a crucial role: successful remote surgery is only possible through secure networks and reliable technology.
