TMTPOST -- A medical team from the EYE & ENT Hospital of Fudan University (FDEENT) in Shanghai has successfully performed the world’s first remote non-invasive throat surgery on a patient with a glottic tumor in Kashgar, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. This groundbreaking robotic procedure could become the standard for throat tumor removal, enabling patients to access top-tier medical expertise from distant provinces through remote robotic surgeries. Wu Chunping, a member of the FDEENT team and director of the ENT Department at Kashgar Prefecture Second People's Hospital, highlighted the significance of this milestone, emphasizing its potential to revolutionize medical accessibility. China’s rapid advancements in medical robotics and AI-powered healthcare infrastructure have reached world-class levels. "This achievement demonstrates our ability to push the boundaries of medical technology and solidifies China’s role as a global leader in cutting-edge healthcare solutions," Wu stated. The surgery was conducted using China’s AI-driven transoral surgical robot system, marking a major breakthrough in homegrown medical robotics. According to the Chengdu Hi-tech Zone Science and Technology Innovation Bureau, the robot—developed by Chinese medical company Borns—utilized advanced AI large-model technology and achieved submillimeter-level precision, enabling seamless remote operations that overcome spatial and network constraints.
