Robotic surgery is increasingly common, raising bioethical concerns. This review examines the ethical dimensions of integrating robots into surgical procedures, emphasizing the human-machine-patient relationship.
Area of Science:
- Medical Ethics
- Surgical Technology
Background:
- Robotic systems are increasingly utilized in surgical interventions.
- This technological integration introduces novel bioethical considerations.
Purpose of the Study:
- To conduct a comprehensive review of the ethical aspects associated with robotic surgery.
- To explore the bioethical implications of robot-assisted procedures.
Main Methods:
- A systematic literature search was performed across databases: PubMed, SciELO, and Lilacs.
- Keywords included "bioethics", "surgery", "ethics", "laparoscopy", and "robotic".
Main Results:
- Seventeen relevant articles were selected from the search results.
- The review synthesizes information on robotics, its healthcare applications, and associated bioethical issues.
Conclusions:
- Robotic surgery is an established practice in modern healthcare settings.
- Essential bioethical reflection is required concerning the interactions between healthcare professionals, robotic systems, and patients.
