Abstract
Modern technology enables the remote guidance through surgical procedures via telementoring, which is particularly well suited to minimally invasive surgeries. Telementoring for robotic procedures might be carried over long distances as well as dual console mode using the da Vinci Surgical System with a proctor in the same room. This chapter discusses the current state of telementoring for robotic surgery and examines the pros and cons of this technology at the present time.
