TELEROBOTIC SURGERY SYSTEM FOR REMOTE SURGEON TRAINING USING ROBOTIC SURGERY STATION AND REMOTE SURGEON STATION AND AN ANIMATING DEVICE

摘要

A telerobotic surgery system for remote surgeon training includes a robotic surgery station at a first location in a first structure at a first geographic point. Harvested animated animal tissue is at the robotic surgery station and includes harvested animal tissue and at least one animating device coupled thereto. A remote surgeon station at a second location in a second structure at a second geographic point is remote from the first geographic point. A communications network couples the robotic surgery station and the remote surgeon station so that a surgeon at the remote surgeon station is able to remotely train using the harvested animated animal tissue at the robotic surgery station.
