Privacy of The Obligation to Report in Robotic Surgery

A Comparative Study

Abstract

  Modern surgery requires the use of advanced technology-based systems, such as robotic-assisted surgery, which provide higher precision in execution and reduce the traditional risks associated with open surgery. However, this technology has its own risks, which makes the “obligation to see the patient” of utmost importance. This obligation raises legal and ethical issues aimed at protecting patients’ rights and promoting the principle of autonomy. In this context, it has become necessary to clarify the concept of both electronic surgery and medical vision (Part I), and to define the scope of this obligation in the field of robotic surgery (Part II). We conclude that electronic surgery represents an important medical achievement, but its safe implementation requires comprehensive solutions to legal and ethical issues. This emphasizes the need for medical vision and continuous learning, which ensures the protection of patients’ rights and the achievement of the highest standards of safety and quality in the field of medicine.
