Introduction: The use of robots in surgery has been increasingly common today, allowing the emergence of numerous bioethical issues in this area. Objective: To present review of the ethical aspects of robot use in surgery. Method: Search in Pubmed, SciELO and Lilacs crossing the headings "bioethics", "surgery", "ethics", "laparoscopy" and "robotic". Results: Of the citations obtained, were selected 17 articles, which were used for the preparation of the article. It contains brief presentation on robotics, its inclusion in health and bioethical aspects, and the use of robots in surgery. Conclusion: Robotic surgery is a reality today in many hospitals, which makes essential bioethical reflection on the relationship between health professionals, automata and patients.

“…Minimally invasive procedures became favorable in the last twenty years with an expected faster recovery not only for elderly, but also for younger patients [1]. All of these concepts offer small skin incisions with a good cosmetic outcome, but mortality as well as clinical recovery time is not significantly better [2].…”

Rotational microactuator for microsurgery

et al. 2013

The implementation of innovative methods and concepts for microsurgery -especially in the context of endovascular and interventional treatment -require properly fitted and resized instruments. These surgical tools, such as microguiding systems, must be of the highest quality regarding reliability and accuracy while additional medical requirements for the application in the human body have to be fulfilled.In this paper an innovative hydrostatic microactuator system for controlling the rotational degree of freedom of microsurgery instruments is presented. From the possible hydrostatic motor designs, an annular gear motor in orbit setup has been chosen based on its suitability for micro manufacturing. The innovative actuator design includes a rotorintegrated control for connecting the actuator's individual positive-displacement chambers.Firstly, a macro-model of the new actuator was fabricated and tested. The obtained test results have already confirmed the functionality and show the actuator's exciting potential. Currently the macro-model is further resized and the micro fabrication process is being developed.

“…The application of robotic telemanipulation systems enables the surgeon to provide the most effective and least invasive treatment option available for this condition, offering all the potential benefits of a minimally invasive procedure, including smaller incisions with minimal scarring, less trauma (including less pain and less bleeding), a decreased risk of infection, shorter hospital stay and recovery, and a quicker return to daily activities [9] .…”
