On December 1, the reporter learned from the West China Second Hospital of Sichuan University that Zheng Ying, director of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of the hospital, recently remotely controlled Jingfeng's domestic single-arm single-port laparoscopic surgical robot, and with the help of Jingfeng's cloud remote surgery system, successfully implemented total hysterectomy + bilateral salpingectomy under a single-arm single-port robot for gynecological patients in Lhasa, marking the completion of the world's first single-arm single-port robotic remote surgery.

It is reported that single-hole robot technology has extremely high requirements for equipment performance and operators. Faced with the technical challenge of 3,000 meters of altitude and nearly 2,000 kilometers of remote transmission, Zheng Ying, who was the remote surgeon in Chengdu, controlled the Jingfeng single-arm single-port surgical robot located in the Tibet Autonomous Region Maternity and Children's Hospital to complete the entire operation in 90 minutes through a small incision of only 2.5 cm in the patient's umbilicus, with a two-way network delay of only more than 40 milliseconds.
The reporter learned that the Jingfeng single-arm single-port endoscopic surgical robot used in this operation is a high-end medical equipment independently developed in China, and it is also the only single-arm single-port surgical robot approved for marketing in China, which has reached the international leading level in terms of performance parameters.
