| Abstract | dc.description.abstract | The notion that consent to surgery must be informed implies not only that information should be provided by the surgeon but also that the information should be understood by the patient in order to give a foundation to his or her decision to accept or refuse treatment and thus, achieve autonomy for the patient. Nonetheless, this seems to be an idyllic situation, sincemost patients do not fully understand the facts offered and thus the process of surgical informed consent, as well as the patient’s autonomy, may be jeopardized. Informed consent does not always mean rational consent. | en_US |
