In a groundbreaking experiment, surgeons in Switzerland successfully performed an endoscopic procedure on a pig 5,780 miles away in Hong Kong, using a video game controller.
The procedure utilized a robotic system and a magnetic endoscope, connected via a direct WebSocket protocol for real-time data transfer, allowing precise navigation within the body.
Maintaining a latency of under 300 milliseconds was crucial, enabling the remote surgeon to react swiftly to any developments during the procedure.
The success of this remote surgery highlights the potential for telesurgery to extend surgical care to remote areas where local expertise is unavailable.
