Abstract: This paper discusses the benefits of surgery streaming and tele-mentoring, as well as the use of 5G technology in surgical procedures. The paper describes the advantages of using wireless 5G broadband as a low-latency and large-bandwidth capacity connection, which can solve problems with cables and large equipment in the surgery room. The Chilean oncology clinic Fundación Arturo López Pérez coordinated an international project with Japanese companies NTT Data and Allm Inc. to implement a proof of concept using 5G technology for the transmission of an oncological surgery. This project consisted of the installation of a local 5G network, its configuration and testing, and the realization of the first broadcast of a robotic partial nephrectomy in Latin America using the 5G broadband. The paper provides details on the hardware infrastructure and components used in the project
