Inter arma enim silent lēgēs (Latin) (In times of war, the laws fall silent).-CiceroEthical values and medicolegal fidelity are deeply ingrained in our surgical culture. Yet, these are often put to an acid test by cutting-edge technologies like robotic surgery (RS), where ethical and legal proprieties may at times be in peril. 1 Surgical endeavors are not just mechanical tasks, but a complex culmination of experience, anatomical familiarity, creativity, adaptability to variation, and emergency mayday measures, and are, thus, considered difficult to automate. 1,2 As surgical sciences catch up with the robotic revolution, the caring, empathetic, compassionate surgeon faces the threat of being outclassed by a faster, stronger, more learned, and efficient machine. [3][4][5] The spectrum of surgical possibilities in robotic competencies and levels of autonomy are rapidly expanding, creating moral, ethical, and medicolegal dilemmas and vulnerabilities. 1,2
