To successfully carry out remote 5G surgery, it is necessary to establish a medical team, and anesthesiologists should not only escort the operation but also find problems in time when accidents occur and coordinate the team for joint treatment. General anesthesia is selected for this kind of operation, and local nerve block is recommended for analgesia. The main feature of anesthesia is that the patient is completely braked during the whole operation, and it is necessary to provide good muscle relaxation and suitable anesthesia sedation depth. In addition, due to the limited operating space of the head, special posture, long-term artificial pneumoperitoneum, the harm of hypothermia, delayed awakening or postoperative delirium, individualized multi-mode analgesia and other problems.

In this study, we assessed the YOLOv8 model's efficacy in identifying robotic and laparoscopic instruments in robot-assisted abdominal surgeries. Specifically, we evaluated its ability to detect, classify, and segment seven different types of surgical instruments. A diverse dataset was compiled from four public and private sources, encompassing over 7,400 frames and 17,175 annotations that represent a variety of surgical contexts and instruments. YOLOv8 was trained and tested on these datasets, achieving a mean average precision of 0.77 for binary detection and 0.72 for multi-instrument classification. Optimal performance was observed when the training set of a specific instrument reached 1300 instances. The model also demonstrated excellent segmentation accuracy, achieving a mean Dice score of 0.91 and a mean intersection over union of 0.86, with Monopolar Curved Scissors yielding the highest accuracy. Notably, YOLOv8 exhibited superior recognition performance for robotic instruments compared to laparoscopic tools, a difference likely attributed to the greater representation of robotic instruments in the training set. Furthermore, the model's rapid inference speed of 1.12 milliseconds per frame highlights its suitability for real-time clinical applications.

The research was comprehensively explored in the PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science databases, covering the timeframe from their inception up to January 17, 2025. The research included quality-evaluated observational studies that compared RUER with OUER for UES. The primary assessment metric was the rate of stenosis recurrence versus reconstruction success. This analysis covered four studies involving a total of 161 participants, with 39 in the OUER cohort and 122 in the RUER cohort. The findings indicated that the RUER cohort experienced a shorter hospital stay than the OUER cohort (RR = - 3.18, 95% CI [- 4.88, - 1.48], p < 0.05). However, there were no notable differences between the two cohorts in terms of stenosis recurrence, reconstruction success, surgical duration, blood loss, intraoperative complications, minor issues, or the incidence of severe complications. RUER has the advantage of shorter hospitalization time than conventional open surgery in the treatment of UES, and both perform comparably in terms of safety.
