ETHICAL ISSUES WITH ROBOTIC SURGERY

Introduction:
In present time, medical science and healthcare services has been advanced quite further.
Various of new technologies has been introduced in this field which has simplified the overall
process of treatment of a patient (Goldenberg, Goldenberg & Grantcharov, 2017). Within the
field of medical science surgery one of the important aspect is the surgery which is important in
many cases to save the life of patients. The surgical section has been also improved in this aspect
as robotic surgery has been introduced.
The robotic surgery is a typical type of surgical procedure in which surgery is done using
some robotic system. The main aim of introducing the robotic surgery is overcome the
limitations of minimally invasive procedures of surgery and enhancing the overall open surgery
procedures (Adili et al., 2017). The robotic surgery is can improve the overall process of surgery
but there are several of ethical issues are related with the robotic surgery procedures. In this
report these ethical issues related with the robotic surgery will be evaluated briefly.
Analysis of the Ethical Issues:
It has been assessed that there are several of benefits are associated with the robotics
surgery which helps to simplify the overall process of surgery and also improves the surgical
process. Though the robotic surgical process is consisting several of benefits, there are several of

issues are analysed using the classical ethical theories.
