Abstract

Technological and computer advances have led to a "new era" of Surgery called Digital Surgery. In it, the management of information is the key. The development of Artificial Intelligence requires "Big Data" to create its algorithms. The use of digital technology for the systematic capture of data from the surgical process raises ethical issues of privacy, property, and consent. The use of these out-of-control data creates uncertainty and can be a source of mistrust and refusal by surgeons to allow its use, requiring a framework for the correct management of them. This paper exposes the current situation of Data Governance in Digital Surgery, the challenges posed and the lines of action necessary to resolve the areas of uncertainty that have arisen in the process, in which the surgeon must play a relevant role.
