"This is the first time I have been exposed to robotic surgery. The sophistication and precision brought about by this digitalization are really shocking!" 43-year-old Tsering Lunchup is a deputy chief physician at the Orthopedic Surgery Department of Shannan People's Hospital of the Tibet Autonomous Region. On the morning of June 5, after the first robot-assisted total knee replacement in his career, he said frankly: "In plateau areas, robot assistance can make operations safer and more effectively solve the problem of doctors' inability to see. Issues of 'accuracy' and 'uncertainty'."

On the same day, 5G remote synchronization multi-center robot hip and knee replacement surgeries in Shanghai, Zhejiang, Tibet, Xinjiang, and Haikou, led by the team of Professor Zhang Xianlong from the Department of Orthopedics of Shanghai Sixth People's Hospital, were performed in Shanghai Sixth People's Hospital and Conducted at Shanghai Sixth People's Hospital, Haikou Orthopedics and Diabetes Hospital, Zhejiang Quzhou Orthopedics and Traumatology Hospital, Tibet Shannan People's Hospital, and the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University. Professor Zhang Changqing, Professor Zhang Xianlong, Professor Wang Qi, and Professor Shen Hao from the Department of Orthopedics of Shanghai Sixth People's Hospital participated in this remote guidance.

The hospital stated that in traditional artificial joint replacement surgery, even experienced doctors can generally only achieve 85% accuracy, and it takes at least 5 years to train a doctor who can perform surgery on the stage. The emergence of robotic surgery is a transformative technology for joint surgery. It not only greatly accelerates the training cycle of doctors, but also helps doctors to complete each operation with standardization and precision, giving patients less trauma. Bringing faster recovery, surgical accuracy can be close to 100%.

On the monitoring display at the Telemedicine Center of Shanghai Sixth People's Hospital, you can see that five robot-assisted hip and knee replacement surgeries are being performed simultaneously.

At 12 noon that day, it can be seen on the monitoring screen of the Telemedicine Center of Shanghai Sixth People's Hospital that five robot-assisted hip and knee replacement surgeries in faraway places have been successfully completed.

Zhang Xianlong, deputy director of the Orthopedics Department of Shanghai Sixth People's Hospital, said that compared with traditional surgery, robot-assisted surgery has obvious advantages in the field of hip and knee replacement surgery. On the basis of 3D modeling, doctors can intuitively understand the positioning, angle, size, bone coverage and other data of the patient's joint prosthesis in three-dimensional space in advance, and conduct personalized surgical plan design and simulation.

"With the assistance of robots, doctors have broken through the blind spots in their original limited cognition and vision, and can more accurately meet the needs of patients. At the same time, with the running-in of human-machine interaction, doctors have improved their understanding of hip and knee joints. Replacement standards are also constantly updated to better serve patients," Zhang Xianlong said.
