surgical informed consent

Surgical informed consent is a process where doctors provide you with clear information about a planned medical procedure, including its purpose, potential risks, benefits, and alternatives. This allows you to understand what will happen and make an informed decision about whether to proceed. It involves a two-way discussion, answering your questions and ensuring you’re comfortable with the plan. Consent is voluntary, meaning you choose freely without pressure. This process protects your rights and helps you make decisions aligned with your health goals and values.
