Why the study?
Although the feasibility of long-distance robotic telestenting was recently demonstrated, the impact of network performance and latency on telestenting performance remained unknown.
Does network latency impact wiring success, wiring time, and perceived latency in robotic telestenting models?
Population
Ex vivo and in vivo telestenting models connected to a robotic control system up to 103 miles away
Comparison
Randomly added signal latencies from 0 to 1,000 ms vs 0 ms added latency
Design
Randomized preclinical experimental study

Latency thresholds warrant network optimization for telestenting; leaves open whether perceptible delays affect clinical outcomes.
Does network latency impact wiring success, wiring time, and perceived latency in robotic telestenting models?
Network latencies up to 250 ms do not significantly impact perceived latency or wiring time during robotic telestenting, establishing a potential threshold for future telestenting networks.
