It is not a new thing to do remote operations using modern techniques, but this is possible only with small or simple operations. Although the technique is said to be possible for every type of operation, but at present such operations are rare. But a hospital in China has done a great feat of doing such a surgery. In this, the surgeon was 5,000 kilometers away from the patient, yet he successfully removed a lung tumor.
Using cutting-edge technology and extensive research, a team of doctors enabled a colleague in Shanghai to remotely control a machine that removed a lung tumour in just an hour. A video of the unprecedented procedure has gone viral on social media.
Stock market trader and expert Naresh Nambisan shared the video on X, writing, “A surgeon in China successfully removed a lung tumor from a patient 5000 kilometers away. The doctor operated the machine remotely from his office in Shanghai, while the patient was in Kashgar, located on the opposite side of the country. The entire operation was completed in an hour,”
