A Chinese medical team has performed a remote radical
cystectomy on a patient 3,000 kilometres away with the help of a
domestically-developed surgical robot using 5G technology.
According to NAN, Niu Haitao, who works with the Affiliated
Hospital of Qingdao University in east China, successfully completed the
laparoscopic radical cystectomy.
The doctor did it by using the master console of micro hand,
China’s newest-generation surgical robot, to control its arms in the operating
room in the Xixiu District People’s Hospital in Anshun, southwest China.
The robot accurately repeated the doctor’s movements, removing the lesions in the targeted area.
At the same time, the application of holographic projection
technology enabled Haitao to interact with the patient and medical staff with
almost no time lag.
The patient was diagnosed with bladder cancer three months
ago and was in dire need of surgery after the condition suddenly exacerbated.
The entire operation was carried out smoothly with no
apparent bleeding or other complications.
Long-distance surgery with the surgical robot using 5G
network can help patients save time and expenses on travel and accommodation,
and improve health care in China’s remote areas.
