Abstract
Background: Patients seeking rhino(septo)plasty need to be adequately informed by their surgeon or surgical team members about the procedure, the expected outcomes, complication risks and post-operative care, and the available alternatives. A consensus on the content of an informed consent in rhino(septo)plasty is currently lacking despite the high unmet need.
Methodology: The extended international faculty of the European Rhinoplasty Course in Brussels organized by EUFOREA has generated an overview of the current literature on rhinoplasty outcomes and complication rates, and available informed consents. A proposal for informed consent was elaborated, consensus reached and checked for legal validity.
Results: An overview of reported outcomes and complication rates of rhino(septo)plasty are provided. Additionally, contents of existing consent forms for rhino(septo)plasty surgery are compared with requirements found in literature on informed consent, leading to a proposal of informed consent including relevant information according to expert consensus.
Conclusions: An informed consent form for rhino(septo)plasty is proposed by the international faculty of the European Rhinoplasty Course, that might serve rhinoplasty surgeons in the development of their informd consent documents.
