Redefining Surgery: Remote Surgical Mentoring Between OR and Office

In this session, Dr. Antonio M. de Lacy remotely guided Dr. José M. Balibrea through a complex gastric bypass surgery on a 27-year-old patient with a BMI of 36. Using the  4RemoteHealth platform by Zerintia Healthtech, Dr. de Lacy provided real-time guidance from his office, communicating seamlessly with the surgical team in the operating room led by Dr. Balibrea. Even while attending a separate meeting, Dr. de Lacy remained fully connected to the procedure, using the platform to offer timely feedback through his mobile device.

This session highlights the revolutionary potential of remote surgical mentoring, made possible by the AIS Telesurgeon and Zerintia Healthtech. The platform enables specialists to guide live surgeries from anywhere in the world, offering high-quality audiovisual communication, enhancing surgical precision, and improving patient outcomes. This is the way for improving surgical education and collaboration, expanding access to expert mentorship and fostering a new era of connected surgery.
