This is a nice consent form but the question is after going through this consent form will any patient become ready for laparoscopic surgery?? They will be so scared that they will run away. I do not think it is practical. May be good in developed country but in developing country where majority of patients are not very educated will they understand all these complications. |

Although the written consent form dully filled and taken from patient before the laparoscopic surgery is a legally effective document, but the process and complexity of documentation is inconsistent and this may leave many laparoscopic surgeons and gynecologists in a vulnerable position. |
