About
Dr. Yongjian Chen is a pioneering surgeon at the forefront of telemedicine and robotic surgery, whose work is redefining the boundaries of remote surgical care. His primary research focuses on the clinical application of 5G communication technology to enable ultra-long-distance telesurgery, a field with transformative potential for global healthcare access. Dr. Chen’s most notable contribution is his landmark 2022 study, which successfully demonstrated the effectiveness, safety, and stability of performing a tele-surgical robot-assisted laparoscopic radical cystectomy over a network distance of nearly 3,000 kilometers. This groundbreaking work, cited 34 times, proved that complex, high-stakes urological procedures can be reliably conducted with minimal latency, even across vast geographical separations. By validating the technical and clinical feasibility of 5G-enabled telesurgery, Dr. Chen has laid a critical foundation for the future of remote surgical intervention, offering hope for patients in underserved or remote regions who lack access to specialized surgical expertise. His achievements represent a significant leap forward in the integration of telecommunications and surgical robotics.
