"Telemedicine" is a major new development with great potential for improving health care delivery. It therefore affects each department in medicine. There is a great deal of telemedicine activity around the world. However, the term telemedicine is not clear. It describes all forms of medical information, transferred from a relevant distance by an electronic transfer media. An essential condition for communication is the intelligibility between transmitter and receiver. Because of different transmitting technologies and networks in distinct countries, towns, or even academic institutions, satisfactory contact is not possible. In the last decade, the demand for worldwide audiovisual data transmission has led to the standardization of telecommunication media. Therefore it is no longer necessary to transport medical data (or even patients) by conventional manners, e.g., post, car, or aircraft. Telemedicine for diagnosis and management can be bidirectional in real-time, long-distance videoconferencing, in which the patient consults a specialist located at the remote site, or it can be the transmission of either real-time or pre-recorded images and data to a remote expert, as in teleradiology or telepathology. Another application is the use of videoconference systems in the course of meetings. The remote specialist has the opportunity to take part in the session, e.g., with a lecture. Furthermore, the remote specialist can demonstrate special operative techniques for teleteaching purposes, some of which may be specialities of the particular medical unit, e.g., operation in open NMR, telemanipulation, or telerobotic procedures. In this paper, we describe the use and benefit of a videoconference between the departments of otolaryngology and head and neck surgery of the Universities of Tübingen and Leipzig by means of an "ISDN-based videoconference system". During the meeting, the "operating course for reconstructive surgery in the head and neck", the practicability, reliability, costs and quality were determined and compared with other technologies for audiovisual data transfer.

Current medical robots have nothing in common with the anthropomorphic robots in science fiction classics. They are in fact, manipulators, working on a master-slave principle. Robots can be defined as "automatically controlled multitask manipulators, which are freely programmable in three or more spaces." The success of robots in surgery is based on their precision, lack of fatigue, and speed of action. This review describes the theory, advantages, disadvantages, and clinical utilization of mechanical and robotic arm systems to replace the second assistant and provide camera direction and stability during laparoscopic surgery. The Robotrac system (Aesculap, Burlingame, CA), the First Assistant (Leonard Medical Inc, Huntingdon Valley, PA), AESOP (Computer Motion, Goleta, CA), ZEUS (Computer Motion), and the da Vinci (Intuitive Surgical, Mountain View, CA) system are reviewed, as are simple mechanical-assist systems such as Omnitract (Minnesota Scientific, St. Paul, MN), Iron Intern (Automated Medical Products Corp., New York, NY), the Bookwalter retraction system (Codman , Somerville, NJ), the Surgassistant trade mark (Solos Endoscopy, Irvine, CA), the Trocar Sleeve Stabilizer (Richard Wolf Medical Instruments Corp., Rosemont, IL), and the Endoholder (Codman, Somerville, NJ).
