The goal of this research activity is to design and develop a complete set of functional and efficient software and hardware system for telementoring, to distribute to every small centre without much experience in correcting complex pathologies in pediatric surgery, with a focus on minimally invasive surgery in urology and oncology.
The objective is to include advanced interaction techniques and tools to remotely guide the surgeon, not only ask for a second opinion: the remote surgeon could use his laparoscopic tools (tracked) in a simulator, or an ad hoc devised haptic tool, to show on the mentee display exactly how to intervene and with which movements.
