On June 16, the Guangzhou Women and Children’s Medical Center achieved a national first by performing a remote pediatric urologic procedure using the SHURUI® single-port robotic system. Leveraging 5G connectivity, the surgical team operated across 500 kilometers to perform a complex reoperation for recurrent hydronephrosis in a 2.5-year-old patient.
The case marked the country’s first fusion of remote + single-port + recurrent pediatric urology—a milestone in minimally invasive children's surgery. Dr. Wen Fu led the operation remotely from Guangzhou, precisely controlling the snake-arm robotic system located in Liuzhou, achieving accurate dissection and reconstruction through a 2.5 cm incision.
The successful procedure showcases the potential of robotic tele-surgery for complex pediatric cases, reinforcing the viability of cross-regional surgical collaboration.
Important Notes
The SHURUI Single-port Endoscopic Surgical System (SR-ENS-600), developed and produced by Beijing Surgerii Robotics Company Limited, has obtained the CE marking for urologic laparoscopic surgical procedures, gynecologic laparoscopic surgical procedures, general laparoscopic surgical procedures, and thoracoscopic surgical procedures. It is intended for use by trained surgeons in an operating room environment in accordance with the representative, specific procedures set forth in the User Manual.
