Abstract
Telesurgery requires a network with the following characteristics: reliability; acceptable end-to-end delay; the ability to transfer data from sources with widely different data rates; low data error rates. A wide range of network options is currently available and even more will be available shortly. It is concluded that for telesurgery ISDN is the best option at present. In the near future, as they become available commercially, ATM networks are likely to be preferable.Keywords
