Establishment of a new practical telesurgical platform using the hinotori™ Surgical Robot System: a preclinical study.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

The recent development of new surgical robots and network telecommunication technology has opened new avenues for robotic telesurgery. Although a few gastroenterological surgeries have been performed in the telesurgery setting, more technically demanding procedures including gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy and intracorporeal anastomosis have never been reported. We examined the feasibility of telesurgical robotic gastrectomy using the hinotori™ Surgical Robot System in a preclinical setting.

Methods

First, the suturing time in the dry model was measured in the virtual telesurgery setting to determine the latency time threshold. Second, a surgeon cockpit and a patient unit were installed at Okazaki Medical Center and Fujita Health University, respectively (approximate
