There are several issues surrounding robotic surgery such as historical advancement and framework if the technology, political and lawful influences, economical issues and reflection, psychological contemplations and sociological impacts, moral and virtues inferences, consequences on the environment and technology in its societal framework.
I. Description of the Technology/Associated Science a. Explanation of what robotic surgery is b. Science of robotic surgery c. How robotic surgery is performed d. Robotic surgery vs. Human surgery
II. The historical development …show more content…
Late 1980’s NASA become interested in this technology C. Early 1990’s teamed up with AMES Research center and Stanford Research Institute d. U.S. Army’s interest in hope of decreasing wartime causalities
III. Political and legal influences
a. Legal liability for malpractice remains the same as it is for any other surgical procedures.
1. Litigation can be more complex in the cases of robotic surgery.
2. The litigation would involve claims against the doctor, hospital, and manufacturer.
b. FDA (Food & Drug Administration) approval for use in the U.S.
1. Several systems approved; Da Vinci, Zeus, ROBODOC, AESOP and CorPath 200.
2. Applications of robotic surgery are expanding rapidly into many different surgical disciplines.
c. Proper credentialing and training requirements.
a. U.S. requirements versus international requirements.
b. Operating room personnel versus surgeon training.
IV. Economic questions and considerations
a. Primary Developer and Manufacturer
b. Benefits
c. Advancements
d. Cost Comparison
1. Are hospitals saving any money or risk for the use of a CPU instead of a
