Morphology

robotic + telesurgery

The meaning is directly derivable from 'robotic' (involving robots or automated instruments) combined with 'telesurgery' (tele- = remote + surgery), so a learner who knows these parts can infer remote surgery conducted with robotic tools. Although 'telesurgery' is technical, its internal components and the adjective+noun composition are regular and cross-linguistically recognizable, making the phrase transparent to B1 learners familiar with the constituents.

Etymology

Robotic telesurgery comes from the parts robotic (a machine doing the work) and tele meaning 'far', as in 'television'. Imagine a surgeon at a console controlling robot arms from another room, and that picture explains why it means 'surgery done by a surgeon who operates robots from a distance'.
