New surgical techniques lack regulation, unlike drugs and devices. This article proposes an ethical model for surgical innovation to protect patients and maintain professional standards in surgical advances.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Ethics
  • Surgical Innovation
  • Regulatory Science

Background:

  • Investigating new drugs and devices requires adherence to strict human experimentation regulations.
  • Current regulations offer limited oversight for innovative surgical procedures and techniques.
  • The definition of 'innovative surgery' varies widely, from minor modifications to unvalidated research.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose an ethical model for surgical innovation.
  • To address the lack of stringent standards for new surgical techniques.
  • To protect patient interests in the context of surgical advancements.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of current regulatory standards for drugs and devices.
  • Review of the definition and scope of 'innovative surgery'.
Keywords:
