Remote Surgery

Remote surgery is is a form of telepresence that enables a doctor to perform surgery on a patient even though they are not physically in the same location. A robot surgical system generally consists of one or more robotic arms, a master Controller, and a sensory system giving feedback to the user. The adoption of 5G technology is a significant advance that will reduce the time delay between when a command is given and received. In addition to enabling doctors to serve patients anywhere in the world, conducting surgeries via robotics limits the potential for human error, such as hand tremors, which can complicate delicate surgeries.
