RESULTS: Many studies were devoted to describing the effect of telemedicine on endourological patient satisfaction, optimization of the clinical decision-making among patients with kidney and ureteric stones, the effectiveness of telemedicine in the management of patients with indications for PCNL, follow-up for patients with urolithiasis and describing financial effectiveness for the patients after BOO surgery. The authors describe phone calls, video calls, and online booking platforms as used as telemedicine technology. However, several concerns also exist, such as the necessity of internet connections and appropriate devices, different receptivity among certain subgroups, data safety, and different regulatory environments among countries. Telemedicine offers the potential to reduce patient travel time, expedite decision-making, and save costs in endourology. However, its everyday implementation is challenging due to various obstacles faced by patients and providers, hindering the realization of its full potential and necessitating a systematic approach to problem-solving.
结果:许多研究致力于描述远程医疗对腔内患者满意度的影响,优化肾结石和输尿管结石患者的临床决策,远程医疗在有PCNL适应症的患者管理中的有效性,对尿石症患者进行随访,并描述BOO手术后患者的财务有效性。作者描述了电话,视频通话,和用作远程医疗技术的在线预订平台。然而,也存在一些担忧,例如互联网连接和适当设备的必要性,某些子组之间的不同接受度,数据安全,以及各国之间不同的监管环境。远程医疗提供了减少患者旅行时间的潜力,加快决策,并节省了泌尿外科的费用。然而,由于患者和提供者面临的各种障碍,其日常实施具有挑战性,阻碍其全部潜力的实现,并需要采取系统的方法来解决问题。
