Telemedicine has rapidly evolved, offering expanded applications including virtual consultations, remote patient education, and therapeutic options. It provides advantages such as increased accessibility, reduced travel time, and convenience. Challenges include privacy concerns, the digital divide, and the need for regulatory frameworks. Virtual preoperative assessment shows promise in safely identifying patients who do not require in-person consultations. Legal considerations and liability issues need to be addressed. While the COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the adoption of telemedicine, it has also highlighted the need for comprehensive policies and equitable access to maximize its potential in health care delivery.
