N2 - This framework from the Society of Robotic Surgery offers best practices for safe, effective, and ethical telesurgery. It is based on a comprehensive literature review, Delphi consensus process, and an international meeting in Orlando, Florida, in February 2024, involving experts from a variety of domains including surgery, engineering, telecommunications, hospital administration, law, and regulatory affairs. Key areas covered include the global landscape and new models of remote surgical care, technological needs like connectivity and cybersecurity, safety standards, training and credentialing for surgical teams, and scalable implementation models. It also addresses legal and ethical issues, clinical indications, and regional and international regulatory comparisons. This framework aims to be a key reference for institutions, surgical societies, policymakers, and technology developers to promote safe, equitable, and sustainable telesurgery worldwide.
