Abstract
Recent developments in robot technology and communication media have opened the way for their use in various medical techniques. Automated camera guidance as well as new telecommunication systems make it possible to carry out extensive laparoscopic operations precisely and to provide teaching assistance from great distances (so-called telepreceptorship). Long-term cost reduction, reduction of surgical complications and the improvement of quality standards are some of the benefits which could be realized by use of such systems.
