Abstract

Abstract Purpose of Review To consider ethical aspects of rhinologic surgery including surgical and medical treatment options, new technologies and techniques, informed consent and patient choice. Recent Findings The ethical principles of autonomy, justice, beneficence, non-maleficence and fidelity are fundamental to the practice of medicine as well as to the clinical research that informs new treatment options. Here, they are discussed in the context of treatment of benign rhinologic disease. Summary Surgeons are ethically bound to act in the best interests of the patient, informing and involving them in the clinical decisions and avoiding harm. This requires full and honest discussion with patients about the available treatment options, their potential benefits and risks and cost-effectiveness of newer techniques and technologies.
