Abstract: Compared with the previous four generations of mobile communication networks, 5th generation mobile communication technology (5G) possesses characteristics such as high speed, minimal delay and high connection density. As 5G technology is beneficial in realizing human-machine interactions, it has now been gradually promoted in various fields. In this paper, focused on the current shortcomings and dilemmas of microsurgery education, the approaches to enhance the delivery of microsurgery education through combination of 5G technology with ultrahigh resolution imaging, big data storage, extended reality, 3D printing and artificial intelligence were discussed, which are particularly important in remote teaching, live guidance, precise training, as well as improving the accessibility and standardization of education resources. The limitations and challenges of the dissemination of 5G technology, proposing prospects and new thoughts on the delivery of microsurgery education in the 5G era were also discussed.

Key words: 5th generation mobile communication technology, 　Microsurgery, 　Education
