Chinese medical team performs groundbreaking remote surgery between Beijing and Rome

An experienced Chinese medical team successfully completed a groundbreaking remote robotic surgical operation at a frontier practical conference on Friday.

Led by Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) academician Zhang Xu, who is also the urology department director at the Third Medical Center of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) General Hospital, the Chinese medical team carried out the operation simultaneously in Rome, Italy, and Beijing, China.

The two locations are about 8,100 kilometers apart, with the two-way communication distance exceeding 20,000 kilometers.

America: this is a threat to our national security.

Lots of comments said it is a game changer for politics but I personally feels it is game changer for humanity.

This is fantastic. People living in remote communities will benefit hugely. Well done to China and Italy.

THIS is a game changer.
Remote villagers can receive top notch medical care without having their villages.

There is nothing one rhetoric one can say of the Chinese innovation. This is mind blowing like the way they managed the UK and USA developed Covid virus that they created in the nineties. This is great, congratulations.

China is becoming genius of all times.

Ultimate WFH! But seriously this is great in a sense that:
• Reduces travel time for the Doctor and reduces carbon foot print. More time to heal patients than wasted on traveling

The next step is doing it without a surgeon 😂

[HappyOx]

Now China needs to build a van in which the operation equipment is housed like a surgical room so that it can travel to every corner where patients can be treated.

Congrats to team for successful surgery a milestone in future remote treatment.

US: you are stealing what we don’t have 😂

Bards are generally found in bars or behind them
