#7 A systematic review of the ethical, legal and regulatory issues pertaining to surgical innovation (oral presentation)

Background: There are a number of ethical concerns when discussing surgical innovation including accountability, harms to patients and conflicts of interest. Whilst some preliminary research has been undertaken to conceptualise surgical innovation, and its identifiable ethical issues, and some discussion has arisen as a result of new surgical procedures going wrong, it is unclear if innovation has been discussed in sufficient detail.
