On November 4, news emerged that on November 2, the world's inaugural remote robotic subretinal injection surgery was carried out successfully. This groundbreaking procedure bridged a geographical gap of 4,200 kilometers, connecting Guangzhou and Urumqi. At the heart of this achievement lies a domestically - developed 5G ophthalmic surgical robot, a product of independent research and development within China. This surgery signifies a pivotal moment, as it officially marks China's transition in the realm of remote high - precision ophthalmic surgery from the "proof - of - concept" phase to the "practical application" phase. The operation was orchestrated by a collaborative team, with Professor Lin Haotian's team from the Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center of Zhongshan University taking the lead. They worked in tandem with Professor Yang Bo's team from the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps Hospital and Professor Huang Kai's team from the School of Computer Science at Zhongshan University.
