REQUEST FOR SURGICAL SERVICES AND INFORMED CONSENT



To the patient: You have the right to be informed about your condition and its treatment so you may make

the decision whether or not to undergo the procedure after knowing the risks and hazards involved. This

disclosure is not meant to scare or alarm you; it is simply an effort to make you better informed so you

may give or withhold your consent for treatment.



I voluntarily request my physician, Dr.___________________________________________________ ,

and such associates, technical assistants and other health care providers he/she may deem necessary, to

treat my condition. The procedure has been explained to me as:



___________________________________________________________________________________



I understand that my physician can discover other conditions, which require additional or different

procedures than those planned. I authorize my physician, and such associates, technical assistants, and

other health care providers to perform other procedures that are advisable in their professional judgment.



Initial if you understand and agree



I understand that no warranty or guarantee has been made to me as to result or cure. Realistic expectations

are 50–75% improvement.



Some patients have great improvement and some have no appreciable improvement.



Initial if you understand and agree



Just as there are risks and hazards of continuing my present condition without treatment, there are also

risks and hazards to the performance of the surgical, medical and/or diagnostic procedures planned for

me. I realize that common to surgical, medical and/or diagnostic procedure is the potential for infection,

allergic reactions, bruising, bleeding, or hematoma formation. I also realize that the following risks and

hazards may occur in connection with the particular procedure:



(1) worsening or unsatisfactory appearance,



(2) creation of additional problems such as:



(A) poor healing or skin loss,



(B) nerve damage,



(C) painful or unattractive scarring, keloid formation or permanent skin pigment change or



(3) recurrence of the original condition.



Initial if you understand and agree

Dizziness may occur during the first week following surgery, particularly upon rising or lying or sitting

position. If this occurs, extreme caution must be exercised while standing. Someone must be present

when you shower during the early postoperative period. Do not attempt to walk if dizziness is present.



Initial if you understand and agree



I understand that secondary revisions or additional surgeries may be required in some cases. The cost of

any of these additional surgeries is one-half the original surgeon’s fee. I understand that I will also be

required to pay the additional anesthesia and operation room fees.



Initial if you understand and agree



I understand the risk involved in surgery and I am fully aware of the dangers of anesthesia. I accept such

risks and can fault neither the doctors and/or the anesthetist if an unfavorable circumstance should arise.



Initial if you understand and agree



I understand that the practice of medicine and surgery is not an exact science and I acknowledge that no

guarantees have been made to me as to the results of the operation or procedures nor are there any

guarantees against an unfavorable result.



Initial if you understand and agree



I have received a thorough explanation of my preoperative instructions. I understand these instructions

and have received copies for reference. I understand that should I have any questions about the

preoperative instructions I should not hesitate to call. I acknowledge my obligation to follow these

instructions closely and to visit the clinic for follow-up care and instructions on postoperatively.



Initial if you understand and agree



I certify that I have read the above consent and fully understand it. I have been given ample opportunity

for discussion and all my questions have been answered to my satisfaction. I have received no medication

before signing this consent. I hereby consent to surgery. This constitutes the full disclosure and

supersedes any previous verbal or written disclosures.



Initial if you understand and agree



NOTE: SINCE SMOKERS HAVE A HIGHER RATE OF RESPIRATORY COMPLICATIONS AND

DELAYEDWOUND HEALING, SMOKING IS NOT RECOMMENDED BEFORE OR AFTER

SURGERY.
