  "We can jump ahead in this area," said Dr. Reiza Rayman, director of research and business operations for CSTAR, and a surgeon who has scores of robotic-assisted operations to his credit.
  ...
  Dr. Rayman stressed that the London Health Sciences Centre is a world leader in the application of robotics to surgery, with an extensive base of experience and expertise to draw upon.
  ...
  Dr. Rayman said there are three main areas on which the partners will concentrate, to produce solutions that improve on technologies that are currently available.
  
  First, they intend to enhance the visualization systems that are presently used.These currently tend to be two-dimensional views of the interior of the body, delivered to TV screens or computer monitors by endoscopes.Dr. Rayman said improvements can be made in this area.
  
  Secondly, a good deal of work can be done in the articulation of robotic joints, thereby giving surgeons much more dexterity when operating the instruments."Humans have six to seven degrees of freedom, when moving joints," said Dr. Rayman."Medical robots need this as well."
  
  Finally, enhancements could be made in the control systems of the robots, enabling the movements of the robot to be more fluid and more closely matching the intent of the surgeon."We'd like to see the movements become much more natural," said Dr. Rayman.
  
  Once the partners devise technologies in these areas, they plan to create a spin-off company to market the innovations worldwide."One of our mandates is to commercialize the technologies, if possible," said Dr. Rayman.

  Dr. Reiza Rayman, CSTAR's Director of Research and Business Operations, calls this risk "the most mission-critical terrestrial information technology (IT) application to date".CSTAR puts a great deal of effort, he says, into making sure that "the redundancies and efficiencies and safety mechanisms are in place so that no breakdowns can occur."
  
  One requirement for telesurgery , i.e., when the surgeon is at a remote location, controlling a surgical robot , is that a full surgical team be present at all times, just in case.
  
  CSTAR takes advantage of Canada's world-class national IT backbone, which is "probably the best in the world," says Dr. Rayman.At least three high-speed (ISDN) lines connect either the controlling surgeon and robot or the mentoring surgeon and operating team.The system uses any sufficiently advanced communications technology, including the Internet, satellite and direct ISDN access.CSTAR is working with several companies, including Bell Canada, to create a robust, high-speed national network , a "surgical-grade network," as Dr. Rayman says, which will benefit telemedical research, not to mention raising Canada's international profile as an innovator in high technology.

  On location at the MTCC, Dr. Reiza Rayman will use high-tech telesurgery technology to participate in thoracic surgery on a patient in London.Dr. Rayman will mentor Dr. Richard Malthaner, a surgeon at LHSC, using video monitoring and will actually move the endoscopic camera using a remote-controlled robot.
  ...
  Dr. Rayman will also use telestration to identify landmarks and point out what he sees to the surgeon at the remote site.Telestration allows the mentoring surgeon to draw on an electronic tablet that corresponds to the remote video monitor.

  Dr. Reiza Rayman, Director, Research & Business Operations for CSTAR says, "robotics are allowing us to create the next step in minimally-invasive surgery.The communications technology has opened the door to the future where surgical expertise can be offered virtually anywhere without actually having to travel."He adds, "There's also a huge application to training and mentoring between leading hospitals and their community hospitals."

  Ultimately , the technology paves the way for surgery on the front lines of a war zone or even in outer space , said Dr. Reiza Rayman , CSTAR's research director , who participated in the Toronto end of the surgical procedure.
  
  Sitting before a computer at the Toronto convention centre , Dr. Reiza Rayman takes part in a lung biopsy on a patient being operated on in London , Ont..
  ...
  Rayman , a cardiac surgeon , used the Toronto-based telementoring hook-up to connect with Dr. Richard Malthaner , a thoracic surgeon , who actually performed the lung biopsy in London on a 62-year-old Thedford man..
  ...
  Using the robot called Socrates , Rayman took control of the endoscopic camera inside the patient in London , allowing him to point out and circle areas in the lung that Malthaner advised the robot , by voice commands , to cut out for analysis.
  ...
  As Rayman took control of the endoscopic camera to provide a close-up view of the patient's lungs , blackened from smoking , Malthaner ordered the robot to cut two sections of lung -- about the diameter of a baby finger -- for biopsy.
  ...
  London -- the only centre in Canada performing robotic surgery -- is getting patient referrals from across Canada , Rayman said.
