Abstract
Innovations in robotics, virtual and augmented reality, and artificial intelligence are being rapidly adopted as tools of "digital surgery". Despite its quickly emerging role, digital surgery is not well understood. A recent study defines the term itself, and then specifies ethical issues specific to the field. These include privacy and public trust, consent, and litigation.
