    Telerobotic surgery enables high-precision procedures without the surgeon's physical presence, addressing global medical professional shortages.

  • 2

    Communication delays in telesurgery disrupt synchronization between surgeon movements and robotic responses, impairing operability.

  • 3

    Brain activity measurements, particularly in the intraparietal sulcus, can objectively assess the cognitive impact of delays on surgical operability.

  • 4

    The study utilized a VR-based simulator to evaluate the effects of communication latency on task performance and brain activity.

  • 5

    Understanding the cognitive limitations imposed by delays can lead to the development of more intuitive and resilient robotic surgical systems.
