Abstract

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.
