〔Abstract〕 Robotic telesurgery is a technology that doctors use advanced surgical robots and network communica - tion technology to carry out surgery on patients in different places. Robotic telesurgery can sink high-quality medi- cal resources to serve patients in remote areas，and can also be used for emergency rescue，disaster relief，battle- field and other special occasions to provide patients with timely，effective and high-quality surgical treatment，as well as reducing medical costs and patient transport risks. With the rapid development of the fifth generation wire- less network，low latency and high broadband communication are provided for robotic telesurgery，and faster and more accurate real-time data transmission makes it possible to carry out complex surgery remotely. In this review， the current situation of robotic telesurgery at home and abroad is described，and the future of robotic telesurgery is prospected.
