Objective To explore the application of 5G remote robotic surgery in distal gastrectomy for gastric cancer and evaluate the feasibility and advantages of the “3+2” model “seven-step method”. Methods The situations at preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative follow-up of a patient who underwent 5G remote robotic distal gastrectomy for gastric cancer with “3+2” model “seven-step method” in Gansu Provincial People’s Hospital were summarized, and based on our experience of robotic surgery, the application advantages of “3+2” model “seven-step method” in 5G remote robotic distal gastrectomy for gastric cancer was explored. Results The operative time of this case was 190 min, the intraoperative blood loss was 50 mL, the network delay was 43.554 ms, and no intraoperative adverse events occurred. After a one-year follow-up, the patient recovered well, with no complications, good diet and good quality of life. Conclusions The “3+2” model “seven-step method” is feasible for 5G remote robotic distal gastrectomy. Further research requires an increased sample size and extended follow-up period.
