Abstract
In surgical operations, medical staffs require rapid and safe diagnosis, operation planning, and surgical treatment. This is accomplished by using various kinds of data, such as those found in the operating field itself, vital signs, patient records, and communication among the staff. In telesurgery, an operating room and remote sites are connected with a network (Fig. 8.1). All kinds of information require digitization, which is then transmitted through a network and shown to staff, with digital devices for information support of telesurgery.
