Research on the Issue of Technological Adoration in Surgical Robot Applications and the Relaxation of Surgeons’ Responsibilities

Surgical robots have become revolutionary tools that empower surgeons, thanks to their precision, stability, and minimally invasive nature. However, in clinical practice, a potential trend of “technological worship” and the risk of “alienation” are quietly emerging. This leads to surgeons becoming mere appendages of the technical system, rather than the core decision-makers and operators. This article explores the technological evolution of surgical robots, from being auxiliary tools to becoming dominant players in surgery. It also analyzes how technological worship can lead to the subtle erosion of surgeons’ autonomy. Additionally, it examines the risks of surgeons losing their sense of responsibility, especially in legal and ethical contexts.
