Key result
5G wireless networks successfully supported telementoring during two live-broadcast surgical procedures as a proof of concept for remote surgery.
Why the study?
Remote surgery and telementoring face significant limitations, which fifth-generation wireless networks could potentially overcome.
Is 5G-assisted telementoring feasible for remote surgery?
Is 5G-assisted telementoring feasible for remote surgery?
5G wireless networks can be used to successfully assist telementored surgery as a proof of concept.
Safe and effective implementation of remote surgery and telementoring can have significant limitations. Fifth-generation (5G) wireless networks could be useful in overcoming these drawbacks. As a proof of concept, the authors present technical and clinical details of two procedures assisted by telementoring using 5G that were also broadcast live. Secure remote access advice.
