Tele-transplantation in RLS currently relies overwhelmingly on tele-mentoring (remote expert guidance via video link), as pure robotic telesurgery remains technologically and financially unfeasible due to prohibitive costs, unreliable ultra-low-latency connectivity, and lack of affordable robotic systems. Successful case studies, like kidney transplant mentoring between India and the UK or foundational surgical training in Malawi, demonstrate that tele-mentoring can effectively bridge expertise gaps, build local capacity, and improve perioperative care when paired with skilled on-site teams…
