- Abstract:
- The grounds for liability with robotic surgery include damage to patients, causality, illegality and guilt. The patient must receive very comprehensive information on the treatment under consideration, his/her risk and what will be done in the case of technical failure. The surgeon operating the robotic device is obliged to provide normal conscientious care and state-of-the-art treatment. In addition, there is possible neglect of supervisory duties vis-à-vis other hospital personnel to be considered. A special problem is posed by a forensic physician who lacks experience in robotic surgery. There should be a surgeon at the operating table who is at least equally skilled as the surgeon operating the monitor. Robotic surgery must ultimately be at least as effective as conventional surgery, if not better. It must, however, be borne in mind that in cases involving this new technology, it is that patient who is the pioneer.
