“…7,8,48,49 Other papers describe various telemedicine and eHealth technologies used in real or virtual patient care, and some even address the outdated but still operational use of the phone for teleconsultations. 11,[50][51][52] Papers on distance learning have been presented since 1995, initially as live broadcasts over satellite, then moving to Internet-based applications. 6 Later studies have addressed many more aspects of e-learning, including barriers, virtual environments and the use of resources, such as virtual patient modules and grid medical libraries.…”

The aim of this study is to present a review based on the literature and proceedings from selected telemedicine conferences. The review was developed using the PRISMA framework. The Embase and PubMed (updated until July 13, 2015) literature databases were searched for telemedicine-related terms and Poland. The literature search identified 129 eligible articles in the databases and 85 in conference proceedings until July 2015. Articles measured as a number of contributions per year presented a similar rising, fluctuating and almost parallel pattern. Fifty-nine percent of the reviewed papers were published in impacted journals. Almost half of all publications presented original papers. The published articles concerned mostly cardiology (16%), family medicine (15%) and pathology (11%). Conference proceedings papers concerned orthopedics (29%, significantly more frequent; p < 0.001) and cardiology (14%). Scientific activity of researchers and practitioners in Poland in the field of telemedicine is not high, but it is increasing over time. There is a tendency to present the research rather in high-quality journals instead of conferences before publication. The occurrence of individual medical specialty telemedicine in Poland may reflect country-specific needs.

Minimally invasive surgery revolutionized operative procedures in the last 20 years. Much of the progress in minimally invasive surgery can be attributed to the development of robot-based systems. The most apparent changes are found in laparoscopy procedures. Procedures in which only small skin incisions are made have revolutionized operating theaters. The learning curve, although long in itself, allows for the development of procedures with reduced perioperative risk (i.e., bleeding, pain) or shorter postoperative period. Convalescence after endoscopy procedures is significantly shorter compared with classic laparotomy. However, certain limitations apply to laparoscopy. Apart from the long learning curve, movements executed with long and rigid tools cannot strictly translate the precision of an operator's hand. The body position of the surgeon is often forced by the reach of the endoscope instrument. It is related to a significant physical load of personnel, especially during long operating procedures. For this reason, some therapeutic procedures are still executed using the laparotomy approach. Modern endoscopic proceduresModern operative medicine cannot exist without endoscopic solutions. Both indications and the perioperative period have an important effect on the selection of laparoscopic operating procedures for patients. Operative gynecology takes advantage of a broad range of possibilities offered by laparoscopy [1]. Indications allow the use of the described technique in cases of changes in adnexa and in the body of the uterus, infertility, repair of pelvic floor disorders, and in procedures performed for oncological reasons. In some cases, even a minimal increase in procedure duration leads to additional blood loss or postoperative pain. Compared with laparotomy, the postoperative course using endoscopic procedures allows faster recovery and restoration to a regular lifestyle. In addition, if maintaining a "youthful" appearance is one of the considerations, the aesthetic aspects of using endoscopy procedures cannot be over estimated either.The following is a review of the operative procedures that can be performed with specialized endoscopic equipments: -Hysterectomy -Laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy -Laparoscopically assisted vaginal hysterectomy -Laparoscopic total hysterectomy -Laparoscopically assisted total vaginal hysterec tomy -Laparoscopically assisted radical vaginal hysterectomyIn laparoscopically assisted vaginal hysterectomy and laparoscopically assisted radical vaginal hysterectomy, a vaginal manipulator is used to expose the uterus. It is only allowed in non-oncological cases.-Ablation or enucleation of uterine myomas -Ablation or enucleation of ovarian cysts

“…1, in the pre-hospital scenario, the user can interact with the patient through a simple 2D interface and has a static view of the scene. Recent studies [10,11] instead have proved the benefits of game dynamics to boost the adoption of simple computerbased virtual patients by groups of students for training sessions in the medical field.…”

EMERGENZA (emergency in Italian) is a 'serious' game, developed in the context of the RIMSI project and designed to improve the training of emergency medicine operators. To achieve this goal, it adopts natural interaction paradigms in immersive environments. Virtual reality systems have been used recently in combination with natural interface systems for enhancing patients' rehabilitation procedures though are proving especially effective in the development of clinical decision support and medical training systems. The use of immersive simulations in medical training is extremely useful to confront emergency operators with scenarios that range from usual (e.g. unconscious person on the ground) to extreme (car accident with several injured people) without exposing the simulation participants in any harm. It is critical to exploit 3D virtual worlds in order to provide as much contextual information as possible to the operators. In fact, each emergency procedure needs to be adapted depending on the environmental threats and the presence of multiple injured people in need of assistance or bystanders. EMERGENZA allows to simulate a first-aid scenario with a configurable virtual environment using interactive 3D graphics. Users can interact through a natural interface for navigation and interaction with the virtual environment. In order to evaluate the prototype, several heuristics have been chosen and tested to measure the overall system usability. Results show that the adoption of natural interaction in immersive virtual environments receives good feedback from users.
