Partner Chad Dunn was recently published as a co-author of “The Need for a Dedicated Surgical Consent Framework for Robotic Telesurgery: A Global Call to Action” in the Journal of Robotic Surgery. The article was a result of the Society of Robotic Surgery (SRS) Telesurgery Conference, which occurred in February of 2026 at AdventHealth in Celebration, Florida. Chad was invited to speak at the conference on medico-legal challenges in telesurgery, including informed consent. Robotic telesurgery is an emerging field in medicine whereby operating surgeons utilize a secure digital interface to perform remote surgical procedures through control of a robotic system. This rapidly expanding global practice allows for surgeons thousands of miles away to perform complex procedures with precision, thus leading to greater access to treatment and opportunity for underserved regions to receive healthcare that would otherwise be out of reach. As telesurgery develops, so too do the legal challenges that accompany any novel medical field. It is crucial that a dedicated consent framework is developed to address the specific ethical, technical, and safety considerations introduced by remote operation. Chad is proud to have been able to provide insight into the legal implications of this evolving field.
