Abstract:
Legal and ethical obligations of the laparoscopic surgeon are explored, including such issues as the following: What is the standard care and when are we straying from it? What is proper informed consent? When is a new procedure "experimental" and which procedures need IRB approval before they can be performed on a patient? What is your liability when you assist, proctor, or provide access for someone else? What are the pitfalls of video documentation?, and How can lawsuits related to minimal access surgery best be prevented?
