Seated at a console inside a hospital in Southwest China's Sichuan province, Piotr Suwalski, a Polish doctor, fixed his gaze on the screen ahead of him while manipulating a surgical robot located more than 7,000 kilometers away in Poland.

About two hours later, the surgery was successfully completed, boosting the doctor's confidence in promoting the technology back home.
