Summary

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.

Interventions

DEVICE

Robot-Assisted Telesurgery

Robot-assisted telesurgery performed using the Toumai robotic surgical system. Patients undergo robotic surgery at Fondazione Policlinico Gemelli IRCCS. The surgical procedure is initiated and completed by the local surgical team, while one or more predefined surgical steps are performed remotely by a second console surgeon located at Isola Tiberina Hospital. At any time during the procedure, the local console surgeon can immediately resume control of the robotic system if required.
