5G Robot Performs Eye Surgery Remotely Across 4,000 km
A Chinese medical team has performed a groundbreaking remote robotic eye surgery, using a 5G-connected robot to treat a patient over 4,000 kilometres away. The procedure, a retinal injection, was performed on Sunday by surgeons in the southern city of Guangzhou who remotely controlled a robotic arm at a hospital in Urumqi, northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. The surgery, performed with micron-level precision, marked a significant…
The operation, which lasted less than seven minutes and used 5G technology, was described as “a key leap” towards the practice of remote ophthalmic surgeries.
A Chinese medical team performed innovative remote robotic eye surgery, using a robot connected to 5G to treat a patient more than 4,000 kilometers away.
