Defining digital surgery for the future

Abstract: Innovations in robotics, virtual and augmented reality, and artificial intelligence are being rapidly adopted as tools of “digital surgery”. Despite its quickly emerging role, digital surgery is not well understood. A recent study defines the term itself, and then specifies ethical issues specific to the field. These include privacy and public trust, consent, and litigation.

“…As surgeons become more familiar with image-guided navigation systems, they are more attuned to their capabilities and can provide input into how the technologies can be adapted. Innovations in medical technology continue to emerge throughout the entirety of health care, with image-guided navigation and surgical preplanning standing at the forefront of what has been defined as "digital surgery" [6].…”

“…Innovations in digital technology have begun to transform the practice of medicine. From FDA approved artificial intelligence systems for endoscopy 1 to the growing use of wearable biosensors in clinical trials 2 , digital technologies are already being applied within various fields of medicine. Historically the field of surgery has justifiably been relatively cautious with deployment of new and potentially disruptive technologies that have not been extensively studied, given the possibility of direct and immediate patient harm 3 ; surgery’s experience with digital technologies so far is no different.…”
