As part of a nationwide live surgery day, organized by RoboClub 2025 under the auspices of the German Society for General and Visceral Surgery, a robot-assisted rectal resection performed by Prof. Dr. Werner Kneist was broadcast live. Over 100 participants followed the procedures from ten operating rooms in eight hospitals. The focus was on the application of digital assistance systems and the use of telemedicine platforms for continuing medical education. \"This form of digital surgical training is a milestone,\" said Dr. J\u00f6rg Noetzel, Medical Director. The event met the highest standards for medical continuing education and was centrally moderated from a studio in Hamburg. Darmstadt Hospital was able to strategically expand its digital infrastructure thanks to funding from the Hospital Future Act (KHZG) and the EU initiative NextGenerationEU. \u201cOur investments are paying off \u2013 we are sharing surgical expertise in real time,\u201d emphasizes Gerhard Ertl, CIO of the hospital. For Prof. Dr. Werner Kneist, Director of the Department of Surgery I, one thing is certain: the combination of telemedicine and robot-assisted surgery opens up new perspectives for specialist training. Initial studies on the workload during tele-surgeries show positive results and are scheduled to be presented this fall at the American College of Surgeons Congress in Chicago. The \"Operating Day\" enabled targeted repetitions of important surgical scenes through integrated on-screen technology \u2013 an innovative approach that promotes both learning and quality assurance. Looking to the future, the Darmstadt Hospital sees itself as a pioneer: \u201cTelemedicine is an integral part of our strategic direction. The connection between innovation and continuing education is crucial for the future of medicine,\u201d concludes Noetzel.
