Remote lung cancer surgery conducted
Print Edition
LOCAL medical experts have carried out the first remote lung cancer operation by using a domestically-made 5G surgical robot.
On Saturday, doctors from Shanghai Chest Hospital operated the system in Shanghai, while the robotic system in Kashgar of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region completed the surgery on the patient 5,000 kilometers away.
The success of the operation reflects the development of domestic surgical robot technology, which allows patients to enjoy high-end service in their hometown instead of going all the way to big cities like Beijing and Shanghai, said Dr Luo Qingquan of Shanghai Chest Hospital and the lead surgeon.
The hospital is the nation’s first medical facility carrying out robot-assisted surgery on the chest, and also the one carrying out the largest number of such surgeries in the nation.
In addition to conducting robot surgery, the hospital has been actively involved in the research and development of robot technology.
This remote surgery was based on the detailed clinical research and works of domestically-made surgical robots. As preparation, Luo’s team fulfilled the nation’s first intra-city remote robotic surgery on an animal in March to confirm its safety and feasibility.
After a one-year preparation, the surgery was finally conducted.
Dr Luo operated the system in Shanghai, with doctors in Xinjiang as assistants. The operation was completed within an hour.
