Indian doctors have demonstrated a live cross-border robotic telesurgery between India and China, connecting a surgical team in India with a robotic surgical system located in Chengdu, China. The preclinical demonstration was designed to assess the technical feasibility of performing remote surgery and explore future possibilities for surgical collaboration and tele-mentoring across geographical boundaries. The procedure was led by a surgical team in India using the BORNS Robotics System.
A key objective was to evaluate how accurately and rapidly the surgeon's hand movements and critical real-time visual information could be transmitted across international distances, with a focus on the potential use of remote intervention in complex surgical procedures. During the preclinical demonstration, procedures including gallbladder removal, abdominal surgery, hysterectomy, and kidney-related…
