The World Journal of Surgery has published the landmark paper, “Expert Consensus-Based Technical Guidelines for Remote Robotic-Assisted Surgery and Procedures.” This milestone publication represents the first globally recognized, consensus-driven framework for the design, deployment, and validation of remote-enabled robotic surgical systems.
The guidelines were developed by a coalition of experts from across healthcare and medtech, including representatives from City of Hope, Intuitive, Johnson & Johnson MedTech, Medcrypt, Medtronic, SOVATO, and Virtual Incision.
Created through an intensive, multi-stakeholder process — including rigorous technical and clinical collaboration, peer review, and a comprehensive literature assessment — the publication offers a blueprint for safe, effective, and interoperable remote surgical systems.
Medcrypt’s participation reflects its ongoing commitment to advancing cybersecurity and patient safety standards within emerging medical technologies, particularly as remote surgery becomes an increasingly viable reality in modern care delivery.
