In the researchers' words
Hepatic echinococcosis (HE) is a serious endemic parasitic disease in high-altitude regions like Xizang. Radical hepatectomy is the primary curative treatment, but expert resources are often concentrated in large medical centers. This prospective, single-arm study aims to evaluate the feasibility and safety of performing remote robotic hepatectomy using the Chinese Toumai™ robotic system over a 5G network. Ten patients in West China Hospital Tibet Hospital, Sichuan University (Lhasa, 3650m altitude) will undergo surgery performed by expert surgeons at West China Hospital (Chengdu). The primary focus is the surgical success rate and perioperative safety.
