Abstract. Remote surgery combines elements of robotics, cutting edge communication technology such as
high-speed data connections and elements of management information systems. Several network and systems
option provide different Quality of Service (QoS) depending on several limitations and difficulties, such as,
transmission delays, bandwidth constraint, and connection rupture packet lost. In this paper an attempt has
been made to configure the best possible mode of communication to mock-up system which provides faster
data transmission with minimum time latency. Here, a concept of tele-surgery via real-time multi-modality
telecommunication networks and systems is presented. To test the effectivity of the proposed systems LAN,
WAN, the 3rd generation network and broad band communication system while short distance and long
distance internet communications test were examined, as result longer distance face little discomfort whereas
short distance does not have any such issues. The survey was conducted in consultation with
anesthesiologists and surgeons at Ramathibodi hospital, Thailand.

1. Introduction
In today’s globalised technological scenario one is able to get the whole world under one’s grip by a
single click of the mouse. Invention of computers has made everything possible. Today we find its use in
almost all the fields changing the humans’ life style whether it at work force or personal. One such area in
the official is the field of medicine. Technology has evolved the communication from mechanical to
electronic broadcast using optic wires, radio signals and the internet making the world into a close knit
family. Tele-surgery or Remote surgery is the performance of robotics over a distance with a communication
link enabling the extension of the surgeon’s surgical expertise to rural area community cutting down the
transport expenses. The telesurgery conducted is a composition of a master and slave where the master site is
operated by human and slave site follows it. Zeus Robotic system which consisted of two
telecommunications computers are the first one to be introduced in this area where each computer is
connected to local site. The advantages of this system was that it had a robust error checking and fail safe
performance of standard Zeus even while operating in a tele-operative mode. Further it could be easily
switched into a tele-surgical Zeus-TC [1].
The first remote human telesurgery was successfully accomplished by operation Lindberg where the
operation surgeon was shifted to a distant location from the surgical room to perform a minimally invasive
surgery on a patient. The integrated telecommunication system enabled the surgeons from the master site to
collaborate with assistant surgeons from slave site. Telephones were used as voice communication, fax
machines as enable written communication, video call enabling visual interaction and robotics enabling
physical interaction over a distance [2]. The first telesurgery was performed by the National Aeronautics and
Space Administration in 1972 and since then we could witness a lot of development. M.Anvari.et.al. [3]
