Seven trainees guided by an expert surgeon performed RARP in 23 patients. This study focused on two initial steps: (1) bladder takedown and (2) seminal vesicle dissection. Trainee performance was assessed using the Global Evaluative Assessment of Robotic Skill (GEARS) and objective outcomes, such as blood loss and complications.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Telementoring was safely implemented in all 23 RARP cases, including those with cT3 disease, with minimal blood loss and no need for mentor intervention at the console during trainee-led procedures. One instance of unstable communication speed did not significantly affect the operation. The GEARS total score had a median of 18.0 (9\u201325) for trainees and 22.0 (11\u201328) for mentors.
