Telementoring can bridge surgical training gaps in low- and middle-income countries, improving surgical education access.

• Real-time remote guidance from expert surgeons can significantly enhance trainee learning experiences.
• Advanced technologies like 5G, AI, and VR can create high-fidelity telementoring environments despite current limitations.

Consider incorporating these emerging tools for better surgical outcomes and training efficacy, particularly where resources are scarce.

• Proposed frameworks aim to optimize telementoring effectiveness while addressing reliability challenges in connectivity.
