Telemedicine is the delivery of healthcare to patients who are not in the same location as the physician. The practice of telemedicine has a large number of advantages, including cost savings, low chances of nosocomial infection, and fewer hospital visits. Teleclinics have been reported to be successful in the post-surgery and post-cancer therapy follow-up, and in offering consulting services for urolithiasis patients. This review focuses on identifying the outcomes of the recent studies related to the usage of video consulting in urology centers for hematuria referrals and follow-up appointments for a variety of illnesses, including benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), kidney stone disease (KSD), and urinary tract infections (UTIs) and found that they are highly acceptable and satisfied. Certain medical disorders can cause embarrassment, social exclusion, and also poor self-esteem, all of which can negatively impair health-related quality-of-life. Telemedicine has proven beneficial in such patients and is a reliable, cost-effective patient-care tool, and it has been successfully implemented in various healthcare settings and specialties.
远程医疗是指为与医生不在同一地点的患者提供医疗服务。远程医疗实践有很多优点，包括节省成本、医院感染几率低以及减少就诊次数。据报道，远程诊所已成功应用于术后和癌症治疗后的随访，并为尿路结石患者提供咨询服务。本综述重点关注确定近期有关在泌尿外科中心使用视频会诊进行血尿转诊以及针对包括良性前列腺增生（BPH）、肾结石病（KSD）和尿路感染（UTIs）等多种疾病进行随访预约的研究结果，发现它们非常容易被接受且患者满意度高。某些医学病症会导致尴尬、社会排斥以及自尊心低落，所有这些都会对健康相关生活质量产生负面影响。远程医疗已证明对这类患者有益，是一种可靠、具有成本效益的患者护理工具，并且已在各种医疗环境和专业领域成功实施。
