1. A system for remotely controlling robotic surgery, the system comprising:
a plurality of surgeon-side adapters configured to be integrated with a plurality of surgeon consoles, each surgeon console being configured to control at least one surgical instrument and at least one imaging system of a patient-side robotic surgery system located remotely from the surgeon console and a surgeon-side adapter integrated with the surgeon console;
a plurality of patient-side adapters each configured to be integrated with a respective patient-side robotic surgery system; and
a non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
create a first schedule of remote surgeries for a first surgeon, the first schedule including a first plurality of patients and a first plurality of patient-side robotic surgery systems configured to be controlled by the first surgeon to operate on the first plurality of patients;
transmit the first schedule to a first surgeon-side computing device and cause the first schedule to be displayed by the first surgeon-side computing device;
create a second schedule of remote surgeries for a second surgeon different than the first surgeon, the second schedule including a second plurality of patients and a second plurality of patient-side robotic surgery systems configured to be controlled by the second surgeon to operate on the second plurality of patients;
transmit the second schedule to a second surgeon-side computing device and cause the second schedule to be displayed by the second surgeon-side computing device;
subsequent to transmission of the first schedule, receive a first request to establish a first session between a first surgeon console collocated with the first surgeon and a first patient-side robotic surgery system of the first plurality of patient-side robotic surgery systems to allow the first surgeon to remotely control movement and actuation of at least one surgical instrument and at least one imaging system of the first patient-side robotic surgery system and operate on a first patient of the first plurality of patients;
verify that the first request is received within a first time window for operating on the first patient; and
in response to verifying that the first request has been received within the first time window, establish the first session between a first surgeon-side adapter integrated with the first surgeon console and a first patient-side adapter integrated with the first patient-side robotic surgery system to allow the first surgeon to remotely control movement and actuation of at least one surgical instrument and at least one imaging system of the first patient-side robotic surgery system and operate on the first patient.
