telesurgery  

Definition

  • Telesurgery is a medical technology that allows a surgeon to operate from long distance; hence it is also known as remote surgery. This is clearly relevant to global health, as a surgeon from one country could feasibly operate on a patient many thousands of miles away in a different country.
