This article addresses the topic of 5G and 6G as a Technological Innovation System (TIS) along with the

industrial application of Remote Surgery as an empirical case, exploring three main contributions. Firstly, this

research contributes to the connection of the Technological Innovation Systems perspective and 5G and 6G

networks in a quantitative viewpoint at national and international levels. Secondly, it contributes to Knowledge

Production (F2) and Diffusion (F3) studies through Bibliometrics and software uses. Third, it contributes to the

studies of a connection in 5G and 6G networks in the Remote Surgery empirical case application on TIS

analytical background. Methodologically, the research problem of this study is to explore the R&D capacity in

5G and 6G TIS concerning the applicability of Remote Surgery worldwide and, consequently, in Germany. The

general objective is to improve the industrial relevance of Remote Surgery through quantifying publications and

patents and the collaborative networks in these domains. According to publications and patent data, the results

reveal a crucial R&D map of Germany until 2021.
