The regulations are all different by jurisdiction (states, federal, countries). Medical boards, licensing restrictions, professional org guidelines/protocols...

As technology evolves, however, the legal overhead and threat of litigation should theoretically fall as safety threshold increases. There will be a change in practice that comes with new tech like robotic surgery.

Surgery will be the last type of practice that moves to a supervisory model. 50 years from now, PAs/NPs/residents will be regularly doing endoscopies, making initial incisions...with attending physicians incrementally further away.

Not like this already happens, however...we're regularly putting patients to sleep when the surgeon isn't even on campus yet.
