Since Operation Lindbergh,<unk>  has been conducted many times in numerous locations. To date Dr. Anvari, a laparoscopic surgeon in Hamilton, Canada, has conducted numerous<unk> es on patients in North Bay, a city 400 kilometres from Hamilton. Even though he uses a VPN over a non-dedicated fiberoptic connection that shares bandwidth with regular telecommunications data, Dr. Anvari has not had any connection problems during his procedures. Rapid development of technology has allowed<unk>  rooms to become highly specialized. At the Advanced Surgical Technology Center at Mt. Sinai Hospital in Toronto, Canada, the surgical room responds to the surgeon's voice commands in order to control a variety of equipment at the surgical site, including the lighting in the operating room, the position of the operating table and the surgical tools themselves. With continuing advances in communication technologies, the availability of greater bandwidth and more powerful computers, the ease and cost-effectiveness of deploying<unk>  units is likely to increase rapidly. The possibility of being able to project the knowledge and the physical skill of a surgeon over long distances has many attractions. There is considerable research underway in the subject. The armed forces have an obvious interest since the combination of telepresence, teleoperation, and telerobotics can potentially save the lives of battle casualties by providing them with prompt attention in mobile operating theatres. Another potential advantage of having robots perform<unk> es is accuracy. A study conducted at Guy's Hospital in London, England compared the success of kidney<unk> es in 304 dummy patients conducted traditionally as well as<unk> ly and found that those conducted using robots were more successful in accurately targeting kidney stones. In 2015, another test was conducted on the lag time involved in the robotic<unk> . A Florida hospital successfully tested lag time created by the Internet for a simulated robotic<unk>  in Ft. Worth, Texas, more than 1,200 miles away from the surgeon who was at the virtual controls. The team found out that the lag time in robotic<unk> es, were insignificant. Roger Smith, CTO at the Florida Hospital Nicholson Center said that the team had concluded that, telesurgery is something that is possible and generally safe for large areas within the United States.
