Network Analysis in Robotic Surgery

Abstract

This study examines the crucial role of latency in robotic telesurgery, which integrates telecommunication and robotic technologies to enable remote surgical procedures. Employing Systematic Literature Network Analysis (SLNA), the research examines key latency factors affecting telecommunication systems essential for surgical robotics. Methodologically, the study integrates bibliometric and keyword co-occurrence analyses to focus specifically on latency within robotic telesurgery. Results identify significant latency contributors, such as data transmission delays, network infrastructure, and control system stability, which heavily impact system performance and patient safety. The findings emphasize the need for advanced telecommunication frameworks, including 5G and 6G networks and enhanced control protocols, to minimize latency issues effectively. This analysis explores how latency impacts real-time feedback and control precision, this study reinforces the importance of developing resilient telecommunication structures to ensure safe, efficient telesurgical practices, ultimately enhancing telemedicine and expanding healthcare accessibility to remote areas.
