Implementation Of A Telesurgery Program At A Referral Center For Robotic Surgery
Implementation Of A Telesurgery Program At A Referral Center For Robotic Surgery: Feasibility And Safety Evaluation - Gemelli TeleSurgery Program (GTSP)
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 28 Aug 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
This prospective, single-center pilot cohort study aims to evaluate the feasibility and safety of implementing a robotic telesurgery program in a tertiary academic referral center. Adult patients scheduled for elective robotic procedures, like radical prostatectomy or colectomy . Surgical procedures will be performed using the Toumai robotic surgical system. During predefined operative steps, a remote console surgeon located at Gemelli Isola Hospital will perform selected surgical tasks, while the primary console surgeon, the patient, and the entire operating room team remain at Fondazione Policlinico Universitario Agostino Gemelli IRCCS. The local surgeon can immediately resume control of the robotic system whenever required. First objective is to assess the feasibility and safety of telesurgery by evaluating the rate of conversion from remote to local robotic surgery. Other objectives include assessment of network performance, technical reliability, perioperative outcomes, and user and patient satisfaction.
