    "abstract": "The incidence of thyroid malignancies is increasing due to the development of detection techniques. The demand for aesthetics and precision has led surgeons to innovate in surgery, and with the development of 5G technology, telesurgery has become a reality.\nWe present the case of a 37-year-old woman with a physical examination that revealed a nodule of about 0.5*0.5\u00a0cm in size in the left lobe of the thyroid gland, with preoperative puncture pathology suggestive of papillary carcinoma. A 5G remote robotic thyroidectomy was performed from Shanghai to Shenzhen.\nWe believe this paper reports the world's first 5G tele-robotic-assisted transthoracic breast approach thyroidectomy.",
