Initial Experience of Telementoring Using the Intuitive Telepresence® Systems for Robot-Assisted Radical Prostatectomy
This study demonstrates the feasibility of telementoring for initial RARP steps using the Intuitive Telepresence platform. Further studies are warranted to evaluate the efficacy of telementoring for more complex procedures and to investigate its impact on long-term surgical outcomes.
