Abstract
Telesurgery can revolutionize health care by facilitating remote surgical interventions and expanding access to underserved regions. Its success depends on robust communication networks, latency management, and ethical oversight, which require collaboration between surgeons, engineers, and stakeholders to ensure safe, efficient, and equitable implementation.
