About
Dr. Wanhai Xu is a pioneering urologic surgeon whose research centers on advancing robotic-assisted surgery, particularly for prostate cancer, and exploring the transformative potential of telesurgery. His most notable contribution is the landmark study, "First impressions of Telesurgery robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy using the Edge medical robotic platform," published in 2024. This work, which has already garnered 14 citations, documents the world’s first successful telesurgery radical prostatectomy performed over a 5G network, with the surgeon located 130 kilometers from the patient. By demonstrating the feasibility and safety of remote robotic surgery, Dr. Xu has opened new frontiers in surgical access, especially for patients in underserved or remote areas. As a referral center for prostate cancer, his team’s insights into the Edge platform’s performance and the integration of ultra-low latency 5G technology are shaping the future of telemedicine and surgical robotics. Dr. Xu’s work not only highlights his technical expertise but also his visionary role in making complex, life-saving procedures more equitable and accessible worldwide.
