Robotic pyeloplasty using internet protocol and satellite network‐based telesurgery

In North America, the urological community has embraced surgical robotic technology in the performance of complex laparoscopic surgery. The performance of complex long‐distance telesurgery requires further investigation prior to clinical application.
