Abstract

Informed consent is a critical aspect of the preoperative visit and involves providing relevant information about the surgery, patient comprehension of that information, patient competence to provide consent, and voluntary choice. Risks that are specific to the surgery should be discussed, as well as any significant risks that may influence a patient's decision. Particular consideration should be given to the use of non-FDA-approved drugs or devices and concurrent surgeries in the informed consent discussion. Lack of informed consent is a commonly cited reason for litigation in Otolaryngology. Otolaryngologists should strive for thorough, meaningful discussions that allow patients to make independent and informed decisions about their care.
