In the researchers' words
This study aims to systematically assess the public's and clinicians' levels of awareness, attitudes, risk perception, acceptance, and potential concerns regarding robotic surgery and telesurgery. It also analyzes the key factors influencing their attitudes and explores the needs of physicians regarding training systems for robotic and telesurgery, as well as the factors affecting their preparedness. To evaluate how different video representations of the surgeon-robot relationship influence patients' immediate understanding of who controls the surgical instruments during robot-assisted surgery.
