A French surgeon successfully performed a prostate cancer surgery on a patient located in Morocco, 12,000 kilometers away, while operating from a facility in Shanghai. This extraordinary procedure, made possible by a state-of-the-art Chinese-developed robotic surgical system, marks the longest remote surgery in history. The advanced robotic system provided high-definition imaging and precise real-time control. Impressively, the communication delay between the controls in Shanghai and the robotic arm in Morocco was just over 100 milliseconds.
Within two hours, the surgeon removed the tumor and sutured the affected area. Reflecting on this remarkable achievement, the surgeon emphasized the reliability of the system's real-time video feed, which remained smooth and clear throughout the operation despite relying on a standard broadband connection. Notably, this milestone follows another…
