The 5G Robot Remotely Operates Eye Surgery

5G机器人远程进行眼科手术

The Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center at Sun Yat-sen University achieved a groundbreaking milestone in eye surgery， completing the world’s first remote， micron-level surgery on rabbits using their 5G robot. On June 23， 2023，the surgery took place in Guangzhou， Guangdong Province， with the team operating the robot from Hainan Eye Hospital at the Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center in Haikou， Hainan Province.

中山大学眼科中心在眼科手术领域取得了突破性的里程碑式成就，他们使用5G机器人，以兔子为对象，完成了世界上第一个远程微米级眼科手术。2023年6月23日，该手术在广东省广州市进行，团队在海南省海口市中山眼科中心的海南眼科医院操控机器人。

Led by Professor Lin Haotian， the trial resulted in all 12 rabbits remaining in stable condition after a month of observation. This achievement marks a significant step in advancing remote medicine in China and advanced the country’s medical devices and equipment to world-leading levels， contributing to national medical standards.

在林浩田教授的带领下，经过一个月的观察，12只兔子全部保持稳定状态。这一成就标志着中国推进远程医疗、将中国的医疗器械和设备提升到世界领先水平，并为国家医疗标准做出贡献的重要一步。

Professor Lin emphasized the problems of solving ophthalmology’s development imbalance and uneven top-notch medical resource distribution across the country. Telemedicine has the potential to overcome these challenges by saving time for doctors and patients， reducing costs， and improving treatment efficiency.

林教授强调了解决眼科发展不平衡和全国一流医疗资源分布不均的问题。远程医疗具有通过为医生和患者节省时间、降低成本和提高治疗效率来应对这些挑战的可能性。

He stated， “If everything goes smoothly， 5G remote micron eye surgery will be available to humans within half a year.” This builds upon their previous surgeries on mice， pigs， and other animals， confirming the 5G robot’s stability and accuracy.

他表示：“如果一切顺利，5G远程微米眼科手术将在半年内提供给人类。”这建立在他们之前对老鼠、猪和其他动物的手术的基础上，证实了5G机器人的稳定性和准确性。

Huang Kai， a professor at Sun Yat-sen University， affirmed the success， indicating the stability and safety of the 5G remote micron-level ophthalmic surgical robot system promises the future use.

中山大学教授黄凯对这一成功给予了肯定，表明5G远程微米级眼科手术机器人系统的稳定性和安全性让未来投入使用成为可能。

Huang’s team collaborates with Professor Lin to develop 5G robots and related technologies for surgeries of this nature. They aim to speed up the implementation and promotion of 5G surgical robots， combine digital telemedicine， and bring new ideas of surgical robot technology as well as new digital therapy medical systems.

黄教授的团队与林教授合作开发5G机器人和相关技术，用于这种性质的手术。他们的目标是加快5G手术机器人的实施和推广，整合数字远程医疗，创新手术机器人技术和新的数字治疗医疗系统。
