World's First 5G Remote Heart Stent Surgery Completed by Domestic Surgical Robot: 12ms Latency
Shanghai Ruijin Hospital successfully performed the world's first 5G remote heart stent implantation using a domestic surgical robot, with only 12ms latency, marking remote surgery's entry into clinical practice.
Shanghai Ruijin Hospital's cardiology department announced today the successful completion of the world's first 5G remote heart stent implantation using the domestic "Surgenium" surgical robot.
Surgery Details
- Patient located 2,000 km away in Lanzhou
- Surgery duration: 45 minutes
- Latency: only 12 milliseconds
- Patient in good condition, able to walk the next day
Technical Breakthrough
12ms latency means the surgeon's commands reach the robot's tip almost in real-time—critical for high-precision procedures like cardiac stenting.
Expansion Plans
Ruijin plans to establish remote surgery partnerships with 20 grassroots hospitals in western China, bringing top-expert operations to underserved areas.
