We are already familiar with terms like AI (Artificial Intelligence), machine learning, and robots. These technologies are gradually becoming part of our lives. The use of technology in the healthcare sector has increased significantly. A recent example of this can be seen in China.
In fact, a surgery was performed in China from a distance of 5000 kilometers with the help of robots. Surgeons at the Shanghai Chest Hospital, with the help of their colleagues, performed a remote operation to remove a tumor from the patient's lung.
During the operation, the surgeons were in Shanghai, while the patient and surgical robot were present in Kashgar, Xinjiang. There is a distance of 5000 kilometers between these two locations. This surgery was conducted on July 13 and was led by Dr. Luo Qingquan.

In India, there is also a similar surgical robot system, developed by Dr. Sudhir Srivastava's SSI Mantra. Using this robot system, doctors can perform surgeries even without being present with the patient. The Indian surgical robot has a modular design with 5 separate arms.

For this operation, the surgeon needs to sit at a console station equipped with a 32-inch monitor and 3D vision. Safety cameras are also provided, which detect the presence of the doctor. If the doctor looks around, the surgery stops. In India, surgeries through a robot have been performed from a distance of 40 kilometers.
