The aim of this study was to test the effectiveness, safety and stability of the 5G communication technology in clinical laparoscopic telesurgery.
An ultra-remote radical cystectomy (network communication distance of nearly 3000 km) was performed on patient diagnosed with T2N0M0 stage bladder cancer using a domestically produced "MicroHand" surgical robot.
The network delay, operative time, blood loss, intraoperative complications, postoperative recovery, and hospitalisation time were recorded. The 5G network was used throughout the operation, with an average total delay of 254 ms. The operation went well and the patient recovered smoothly.
Ultra-remote clinical laparoscopic surgery can be performed safely and smoothly. More importantly, our model can provide insights for promoting the future development of telesurgery in China.
本研究旨在测试 5G 通信技术在临床腹腔镜远程手术中的有效性、安全性和稳定性。
对一名诊断为 T2N0M0 期膀胱癌的患者进行超远程根治性膀胱切除术（网络通信距离近 3000 公里），使用国产“妙手”手术机器人。
记录网络延迟、手术时间、出血量、术中并发症、术后恢复和住院时间。手术全程使用 5G 网络，平均总延迟 254ms。手术顺利，患者恢复顺利。
超远程临床腹腔镜手术可以安全、顺利地进行。更重要的是，我们的模型可以为推动我国远程手术的未来发展提供思路。
