Background: Robot-assisted thoracic surgery has been shown to have several advantages over conventional surgery. As mobile communication technology and surgical robotic devices in China continue to progress rapidly, the conditions for performing remote surgery have been optimized. Consequently, informatized and remote advanced medical cooperation is becoming a new direction for supporting the medical development of border regions and promoting the equitable distribution of medical resources in China.

Background: Telesurgery has been made increasingly possible with the advancements in robotic surgical platforms and network connectivity. However, long-distance transnational complex robotic surgeries such as gastrectomy have yet to be attempted.
Methods: Multiple transnational network connections by Science Innovation Network (SINET), Japan Gigabit Network (JGN), and Arterial Research and Education Network in Asia-Pacific (ARENA-PAC) were established and tested by multiple surgeons in a dry box model.
Transatlantic Telerobotic Coronary Angiography: A Pre-clinical Feasibility Study.
JACC Adv
January 2025
Department of Cardiology, University Heart Centre, University Hospital Zürich, Zürich, Switzerland.
Background: Patients in many underserved geographies lack access to invasive coronary angiography (ICA).
Objectives: This preclinical study explored the feasibility of telerobotic ICA between separate continents.
Methods: Using a novel robotic system, attempts were made to navigate a magnetic guidewire and diagnostic catheter from the aortic arch into a target coronary artery ostium in a fluid-filled cardiac model.
Tele-Manipulative Neuro-Registration in Robot assisted Neurosurgery.
World Neurosurg
January 2025
Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, Mumbai, India-400085.
This paper deals with neuro-registration using tele-manipulation (Master-Slave Manipulation) to facilitate tele-surgery and enhance the overall accuracy and reach of the robot-assisted neurosurgery. Accurate Neuro-registration is important as the success of the surgical procedure highly depends on it. A 6-degree-of-freedom Parallel Kinematic Mechanism (6D-PKM) master-slave robot in tele-manipulation mode is utilized for both neuro-registration and neurosurgery.
