This study introduces a two-part informed consent form for orthognathic surgery. This ensures patients understand diagnostic, therapeutic, and surgical details, along with potential risks, before treatment begins.

Area of Science:

  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Medical Ethics
  • Patient Education

Background:

  • Informed consent is crucial for patient autonomy and surgical procedures.
  • Current informed consent forms may not adequately convey complex orthognathic surgery details.
  • Standardization of informed consent in orthognathic surgery is lacking.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a novel, two-part informed consent form specifically designed for orthognathic surgery.
  • To enhance patient comprehension of diagnostic, therapeutic, and surgical aspects of orthognathic procedures.
  • To mitigate surgeon liability by ensuring thorough patient understanding of risks.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive review of international literature on informed consent.
Keywords:
Professional Patient Relationship

  • Analysis of current clinical practices in orthognathic surgery consent.
  • Development and proposed implementation of a two-part informed consent document.

    • Main Results:

    • The proposed form divides information into two distinct parts: initial acceptance and pre-therapy risk disclosure.
    • The first part details diagnostic procedures and treatment timelines, requiring initial patient acknowledgment.
    • The second part outlines potential complications, to be reviewed before therapy initiation.

    Conclusions:

    • A structured, two-part informed consent form can improve patient understanding of orthognathic surgery.
    • This approach supports patient rights and informed decision-making.
    • The proposed form aids in protecting surgeons from legal repercussions due to omissions.
