Ethics in Surgery

Ethics in surgery involves a set of moral principles guiding surgeons to prioritize patients' well-being, autonomy, and informed consent. Surgeons must act honestly, avoid harm, and ensure that procedures are necessary and in the patient’s best interest. They respect patients’ decisions, maintain confidentiality, and communicate clearly about risks and benefits. Ethical surgery balances technical skill with moral responsibility, aiming for treatment that benefits the patient while adhering to professional standards. Ultimately, it emphasizes trust, integrity, and compassionate care in making difficult medical decisions.
