The operation took place in <strong data-start=\"524\" data-end=\"534\">Hainan<\/strong>, while Dr. Ling remained in <strong data-start=\"563\" data-end=\"574\">Beijing<\/strong>, 3,000 km away.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"592\" data-end=\"770\">The surgery lasted <strong data-start=\"611\" data-end=\"626\">three hours<\/strong> and was completed successfully. The patient, who has Parkinson\u2019s disease, was reported to feel well after this first-ever remote brain surgery.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"772\" data-end=\"931\">Dr. Ling used a computer connected to a <strong data-start=\"812\" data-end=\"853\">5G mobile network developed by Huawei<\/strong>. According to him, the new technology enables an almost real-time connection:<\/p>\n<blockquote data-start=\"933\" data-end=\"999\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"935\" data-end=\"999\">\u201cYou can hardly feel that the patient is 3,000 kilometers away.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"1001\" data-end=\"1184\">Traditional 4G networks cannot support such procedures due to video lag and delays in remote instrument control. The new 5G system appears to have solved these issues, Dr. Ling noted.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"1186\" data-end=\"1452\">Healthcare institutions around the world have conducted a number of experiments in robotic tele-surgery\u2014most famously the U.S. <strong data-start=\"1313\" data-end=\"1341\">da Vinci Surgical System<\/strong>. However, these technologies have yet to achieve significant commercial impact due to performance limitations.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"1454\" data-end=\"1731\">Remote surgery has the potential to help patients in remote, impoverished areas, as well as those in conflict zones, by giving them immediate access to leading specialists.
