摘　　要：The number of invasive procedures in medicine is increasing,as is the employment of new technological achievements.In the era of informationcommunication technology,one such achievement is also the telemedicine network.In Slovenia,it is known as the Telekap(TeleStroke) network,which was primarily designed for fast and efficient management of stroke patients.In the neurosurgical community,the system is frequently used also for conveying vital information regarding subarachnoid haemorrhage and trauma.Especially in neurosurgical emergencies,this communication system offers thorough information about the extent and location of bleeding and facilitates the preoperative planning of neurosurgical interventions.From our experience so far,the system should be expanded to other neuro-centres as well to all neurosurgery departments in order to facilitate patient management,their acute hospital care,and inter-speciality collaboration.The number of invasive procedures in medicine is increasing,as is the employment of new technological achievements.In the era of informationcommunication technology,one such achievement is also the telemedicine network.In Slovenia,it is known as the Telekap(TeleStroke) network,which was primarily designed for fast and efficient management of stroke patients.In the neurosurgical community,the system is frequently used also for conveying vital information regarding subarachnoid haemorrhage and trauma.Especially in neurosurgical emergencies,this communication system offers thorough information about the extent and location of bleeding and facilitates the preoperative planning of neurosurgical interventions.From our experience so far,the system should be expanded to other neuro-centres as well to all neurosurgery departments in order to facilitate patient management,their acute hospital care,and inter-speciality collaboration.
