机器人手术领域在所执行的外科手术和该技术的潜在应用方面都在迅速发展。这项调查研究试图评估公众对机器人手术中一些问题的看法。使用基于网络的软件“Kwiksurveys”构建了一项基于网络的调查研究。该调查随后在互联网上进行广告和分发，以吸引来自多个国家的广泛社会经济群体的受访者。在六个月的时间内收集了答复。一百五十五名参与者参加了这项调查研究。参与者的平均年龄为 35.5 +/- 3.4 岁。大多数参与者 (52%) 要么感到舒适，要么感到满意。百分之六十八的受访者表示，他们对于在手术前或手术后不能亲自见到手术外科医生的想法感到非常满意。这项调查研究表明，目前公众似乎对当前版本的机器人手术感到满意，手术外科医生与患者在同一房间。调查研究表明，即使机器人手术技术取得进步，患者仍然希望与手术外科医生保持联系。
The field of robotic surgery is rapidly advancing both in terms of the surgical procedures performed and the potential applications of this technology. This survey study attempts to evaluate the opinions of the public regarding a number of issues in robotic surgery. A web-based survey study was constructed using the web-based software "Kwiksurveys''. This survey was then advertised and distributed over the Internet to gain responders from a wide range of socio-economic groups and in a number of countries. Responses were collected over a six-month period. One-hundred and fifty-five participants took part in this survey study. The mean age of participants was 35.5 +/- 3.4 years. The majority of participants (52%) were either comfortable or totally comfortable with the current version of robotic surgery during which a surgeon in the same room controls instruments inside the patient. Sixty-eight percent of responders reported they would be very uncomfortable with the idea of not seeing the operating surgeon in person before or after surgery. Forty-five percent of participants reported they would consider the idea of an internal robot operating internally with little or no external scarring. This survey study has demonstrated that currently the public seem to be comfortable with the current version of robotic surgery, with the operating surgeon in the same room as the patient. The results of this survey study show that even with technical advances in robotic surgery, patients will still want to have contact with their operating surgeon.
