Abstract

This statement on informed consent during an intraoperative consult, developed by the SAGES Ethics Committee, has been reviewed and approved by the SAGES Board of Governors. It provides a framework for conducting an intraoperative consult and evaluating that process afterward, with a particular focus on informed consent. This statement adds to our previous guidance on informed consent, Rawlings (Surg Endosc 34:4713–4716, 2020) which deliberately did not address the intraoperative consult due to its complexity.
