Using 5G to remotely control surgical robots from 4,000 km away, doctors completed a delicate operation in Tibet at 4,500 metres above sea level, Euronews<\/a> writes.<\/p>\n

At over 4,500 metres above sea level, in Nagqu City located in China’s Xizang Autonomous Region, doctors have pulled off a remarkable world first: a successful 5G remote robotic urological surgery at extreme altitude.<\/p>\n

The operation connected two hospitals thousands of kilometres apart. On one end, Professor Liu Zhiyu’s team at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Dalian Medical University in Liaoning Province; on the other Dr. Wang Yanlong, director of urology at Nagqu People’s Hospital and a member of Liaoning’s medical aid team stationed in Xizang.<\/p>\n

To successfully perform the surgery, the two hospitals partnered with network providers, running countless tests and simulations to ensure the robots and 5G systems could operate flawlessly in extreme conditions.<\/p>\n

The medical team also spent weeks studying the patient’s case, creating a personalised surgical plan and rehearsing the procedure to perfection.<\/p>\n

“From a medical perspective, this represents a major breakthrough in 5G remote robotic surgery,” Wang said. “It proves that even in extremely harsh plateau environments, advanced technology can enable the remote sharing of high-quality medical resources, providing a successful model for addressing healthcare disparities in remote high-altitude regions globally.”<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
