What are the test results accomplished by three NASA astronauts and one surgeon who were undergoing long-term training in an underwater habitat called the NASA Extreme Environment Mission Operations? Have the telementoring results demonstrated that nonsurgeons having been trained with a specified skill set can perform more complex laparoscopic procedure using in vivo robots? […]
