Abstract:
The combination of mobile communication technology and the medical field has given rise to telemedicine, whose clinical practice can greatly alleviate the problem of uneven distri-bution of regional medical resources and provide patients with instant and high-quality diagnostic and treatment services. The concept of telemedicine has also been applied in the field of surgery. With the rapid development of high-speed communication technology and robotic surgery systems, remote robotic surgery is gradually entering people′s vision. However, remote robotic surgery requires extremely high speed and stability in long-distance information exchange, and traditional communi-cation technologies are gradually unable to meet the development needs of remote robotic surgery. The fifth generation mobile communication technology, namely 5G network, is bringing significant changes to the development of remote healthcare, especially remote robotic surgery, due to its advantages such as high speed, high bandwidth, and low latency. The author has consulted relevant literature and combined with the team′s experience in conducting 5G remote robotic surgery, provi-ding a detailed introduction to the current application status and future prospects of 5G network based remote medical robotic surgery, aiming to promote the deep development and further promo-tion of this new technology.
