Medical Breakthrough: Remote Lung Cancer Surgery with World's First 5G Technology

Jakarta, INTI - On Saturday, July 13, doctors in China successfully performed the world's first remote lung cancer surgery with the help of a Made in China 5G robot. This surgery was conducted from Shanghai in eastern China to remove a tumor from a patient located in northwestern China, over 5,000 kilometers away. This successful operation marks a significant milestone in remote surgery technology in the country.

This achievement not only signifies a major advancement in medical technology but also highlights the immense potential of 5G technology in the healthcare field. The 5G network allows for fast and stable data transfer, which is crucial in remote surgeries that require high precision and real-time response. In this surgery, doctors in Shanghai used an advanced robotic system controlled via the 5G network to perform the operation with high accuracy.

5G Technology in the Medical World

5G technology offers various advantages over previous technologies, especially in terms of speed and low latency. With extremely low latency, there is almost no delay between the commands given by the doctor and the movements performed by the robot. This enables doctors to perform surgeries remotely as if they were in the same operating room as the patient.

The success of this surgery opens the door to various new applications in the medical world. 5G technology can be used for telemedicine, where patients in remote areas can receive consultations and treatment from specialist doctors located in major cities. Additionally, remote surgery can be a solution for areas lacking specialist surgeons, allowing patients to receive the best care without having to travel far.

Latest Statistics and Facts

According to data from China's Ministry of Health, the number of lung cancer cases in the country continues to increase each year. In 2023, there were more than 800,000 new cases of lung cancer. With the increasing number of patients, technologies like remote surgery can be a solution to improve the accessibility and quality of healthcare.

On the other hand, 5G technology in China continues to develop rapidly. By the end of 2023, China had installed over 1 million 5G base stations nationwide, making it the country with the largest 5G network in the world. This supports the implementation of advanced technologies in various sectors, including healthcare.

The Future of Remote Surgery

The success of this remote lung cancer surgery marks the beginning of a new era in the medical world. With the continuous development of technology, in the future, we might see more surgeries and medical procedures being performed remotely. This will not only increase the accessibility of healthcare services but also open new opportunities for innovation in medical care.
