China: Doctors Perform Robotic Liver Surgeries on 2 Patients Using Satellite Network From Lhasa to Beijing
In a world-first feat, doctors in China successfully performed robotic liver surgeries on two patients over 5,000 km away using satellite communication from Lhasa to Beijing. The procedures, performed via the Apstar-6D satellite, resulted in just 20 mL of blood loss and no complications. Both patients were discharged within 24 hours.
In a world-first feat, doctors in China successfully performed robotic liver surgeries on two patients over 5,000 km away using satellite communication from Lhasa to Beijing. This marks a major breakthrough in remote medical technology, overcoming the limits of traditional 5G telesurgery. Reportedly, despite a 632-millisecond delay, precision was maintained with less than 0.32 mm error thanks to advanced neural networks and real-time backup systems. The procedures, performed via the Apstar-6D satellite, resulted in just 20 mL of blood loss and no complications. Both patients were discharged within 24 hours.
