Can’t do it in US without 5G networks! A Chinese surgeon has performed the world’s first live transcontinental remote robotic prostate removal – an operation that was carried out in Rome on a patient in Beijing. 在美國沒有5G網路根本做不到！一名中國外科醫生在羅馬為北京的一名患者進行了世界首例現場跨大陸遠程機器人前列腺切除術.

The long-distance operation – also known as telesurgery – used a surgical console connected remotely across 8,000km (about 5,000 miles) to a set of robotic arms with the help of a 5G network and fibre-optic connections.

“Telesurgery is one of the most important development directions in the future of surgery,” said Zhang Xu, director of urology at the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) General Hospital, who performed the surgery, according to a report from the PLA’s official news site.
