Wonder, wonder. A Chinese doctor, Dr. Ling Zhipei has performed the first ever brain surgery over a 5G mobile network. A patient with Parkinson’s disease allegedly had an implant put in their brain by the doctor who was more than 1,800miles away (3,000km).
Using 5G technology, Dr Zhipei remotely implanted a neuro-stimulator into his patient’s brain.
According to Chinese media, the surgery that ended successfully lasted for about three hours. The patient, suffering from Parkinson’s disease, is said to be feeling well and is recovering.
The technology used for this pioneer surgery is based on a computer that uses a next generation 5G network developed by the Chinese tech giant Huawei. As the doctor moves the robotized arms with instruments, the 5G network enables the instant response of the same robotic arms on the other side of connection. According to Dr Zhipei, the feeling is as close at it can be as if the patient was really in front of him.
“You barely feel that the patient is 3,000 kilometers away,” he said.
The advantage of 5G digital networks over standard 4G is in their reliability. Conventional 4G has no capacity to transfer video without lagging, which often results in jumpy movement of a picture or video.
For years manufacturers of medical equipment have been racing to produce gear that lets surgeons operate from a distance, like the robotic “telesurgery” provided by the American da Vinci Surgical System. However, the system was too expensive and has some technical issues. The new 5G network offers the change that medical tech giants were looking for and China just proved that remote surgery is a new chapter in the history of medicine.
