The Perspectives of Robotic Surgeons

Surg Technol Int. 2023 Apr 29;44:sti44/1785. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTGiven recent advancements in artificial intelligence and robotic surgery, attention has now been paid to the concept of autonomous surgery. As robotic surgery has developed and matured, examples of autonomous surgery have arisen through the assistance of artificial intelligence. As with any new technology, ethical and legal considerations also arise, and there are special considerations that should be taken into account with the adaptation of new technology involving patient care. In this paper, we will describe autonomous surgery used in general surgery and lower extremity joint arthroplasty, and we will highlight the current ethical and legal considerations associated with this technology.PMID:38697137
