The surgeon manipulated the instruments in the Beijing-based PLAGH hospital from a clinic subsidiary on the southern Hainan island, located 3,000km away. The surgery is said to have lasted three hours and ended successfully. The patient, suffering from Parkinson\u2019s disease, is said to be feeling well after the pioneering operation.<\/p>\n<p>The doctor used a computer connected to the next-generation 5G network developed by Chinese tech giant Huawei. The new device enabled a near real-time connection, according to Dr. Ling. \u201cYou barely feel that the patient is 3,000 kilometers away,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Conventional 4G networks do not allow surgical operations to be performed due to video lag and remote control delays. The new technology seems to have resolved these issues, the surgeon says.<\/p>\n<p>Medical institutions worldwide have made an array of experiments with robotic \u201ctelesurgery,\u201d the most striking example being American da Vinci Surgical System. But the technology has yet to make a significant commercial impact, as existing gadgets are criticized for having a number of performance issues.<\/p>\n<p>Remote surgery could allow people from far-away or poor regions, as well as war zones, to receive immediate help from top doctors around the globe. Due to its large bandwidth and low latency, 5G enables \u201cextremely low operational delay\u201d during surgery, the manufacturer says.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rt.com\/news\/454056-remote-brain-surgery-china\/?fbclid=IwAR0TuESLeubw0jJOqrz8_TZEVGuzOzkkGh2I-JbP2S-QJOF3jfpYPKf16ic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">https:\/\/www.rt.com\/news\/454056-remote-brain-surgery-china\/?fbclid=IwAR0TuESLeubw0jJOqrz8_TZEVGuzOzkkGh2I-JbP2S-QJOF3jfpYPKf16ic<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RAEL\u2019S COMMENT: Wonderful! &nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":71,"featured_media":336701,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-238708","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/noproxy.rael.org\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/238708","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/noproxy.rael.org\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/noproxy.rael.org\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/noproxy.rael.org\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/71"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/noproxy.rael.org\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=238708"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/noproxy.rael.org\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/238708\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/noproxy.rael.org\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/336701"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/noproxy.rael.org\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=238708"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/noproxy.rael.org\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=238708"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/noproxy.rael.org\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=238708"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
