Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

Sinonasal surgery has always been a potential source of complications. Most legal suits involving endoscopic sinus surgery alleged lack of informed consent. In this article, the authors discuss what informed consent means, to the physician and the patient, and how it is relevant in the case of complications. They also explain that patient communication is important and helps to develop a positive physician-patient relationship. © 2010 Elsevier Inc.
