Abstract

Background

The emergence of telesurgery has received global interest, with secure network transmission identified as a crucial determinant of its success. This study aimed to evaluate the safety and viability of employing quantum cryptography communication in remote partial nephrectomy.

Methods

The surgeon operated on the patient from a distance of over 260 km using remote control of a surgical robot. Key evaluation metrics for the telesurgery procedure included success rate, incidence of complications, network latency, and packet loss.

Results

The average BMI of these patients was 29.4 kg/m², the average warm ischaemia time was 26 min, and the packet loss rate was 0%. Postoperative patient recovery, as indicated by follow-up results, was favourable.

Conclusions

We introduced a novel telesurgical paradigm for partial nephrectomy based on quantum cryptography communication. The application of pioneering technology provides patients with a safer choice for telemedical treatment and promotes the application of telesurgery.

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Medical Robotics and Computer Assisted Surgery provides a cross-disciplinary platform for presenting the latest developments in robotics and computer assisted technologies for medical applications. The journal publishes cutting-edge papers and expert reviews, complemented by commentaries, correspondence and conference highlights that stimulate discussion and exchange of ideas. Areas of interest include robotic surgery aids and systems, operative planning tools, medical imaging and visualisation, simulation and navigation, virtual reality, intuitive command and control systems, haptics and sensor technologies. In addition to research and surgical planning studies, the journal welcomes papers detailing clinical trials and applications of computer-assisted workflows and robotic systems in neurosurgery, urology, paediatric, orthopaedic, craniofacial, cardiovascular, thoraco-abdominal, musculoskeletal and visceral surgery. Articles providing critical analysis of clinical trials, assessment of the benefits and risks of the application of these technologies, commenting on ease of use, or addressing surgical education and training issues are also encouraged. The journal aims to foster a community that encompasses medical practitioners, researchers, and engineers and computer scientists developing robotic systems and computational tools in academic and commercial environments, with the intention of promoting and developing these exciting areas of medical technology.
