In a groundbreaking medical milestone, Dr. Zhang Xu, a Chinese surgeon, successfully performed a remote surgical operation on a patient located 8,000 kilometers away in Beijing, while operating from Rome, Italy. This pioneering procedure was made possible through a 5G-enabled surgical robot that precisely replicated the surgeon’s movements in real-time.
1. Ultra-Low Latency Enables Real-Time Precision
The key of this successful operation was
latency of only 135 milliseconds—significantly faster than the average human blink (which takes approximately 300–400 milliseconds)
2. A Technological Breakthrough in Telesurgery
This operation marks a major advancement in telesurgery,
The 5G infrastructure provide
