Telesurgery and Robotic Surgery: Ethical and Legal Aspect
نویسنده
چکیده
Robotic surgery is a surgical procedure that places a computer or a computer technology between the surgeon and patient during surgery and involves the total control of the surgeon. Telemedicine, telesurgery and robotic surgery are new concepts that are very necessary for the medical practice because of the many advantages and opportunities created. Legal and ethical implications linked to the use of telemedicine, telesurgery and robotic surgery should be clarified for proper use, and for eliminating uncertainty and skepticism. This paper is a review of ethical and legal requirements regarding telesurgery and robotic surgery.

Now-a-days, robots are being used to perform surgery. The main advantages they provide are precision, miniaturization, smaller incisions, decreased blood loss, less pain, and quicker healing time. Robotic assistance decreases the fatigue that doctors experience during surgeries that can last several hours. Telesurgery is the ability for a doctor to perform surgery on a patient even though they ...
متن کاملRobotic Telesurgery: Benefits Beyond Barriers
The idea of robotic telesurgery dates back to the 1970s when the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) developed a project to utilize remotely controlled robots to perform surgeries on astronauts [1]. The history of robotic surgery begins in 1985, when Kwoh et al used a robot Puma 200, for performing neurosurgical biopsies with greater precision [2]. This was soon followed by the...
