Abstract

Physicians are expected to ensure that patients are meaningfully informed and have voluntarily consented prior to engaging in any medical interventions upon a competent patient with decisional capacity. One aspect of informed consent is the disclosure of information that a reasonable patient might require to make a knowledgeable decision. A potential exception to this principle arises regarding the disclosure of a surgeon's degree of skill compared to that of their competitors. Whether or not a surgeon has an ethical obligation to disclose relative success rates becomes even more challenging with regard to facial feminization surgery (FFS) for transgender women, where the success of outcomes is highly subjective. This essay explores legal and ethical considerations regarding the disclosure of comparative surgical outcomes for patients pursuing FFS.

医生披露比较手术结果的义务:面部女性化手术的显著特点。
医生在对有决定能力的病人进行任何医疗干预之前,应确保病人知情并自愿同意。知情同意的一个方面是披露合理的病人为做出知情决定而可能需要的信息。与竞争对手相比,披露外科医生的技术水平可能是这一原则的一个例外。对于变性女性的面部女性化手术(FFS)而言,外科医生是否有披露相对成功率的道德义务变得更具挑战性,因为手术结果的成功与否是非常主观的。本文探讨了有关披露变性患者面部女性化手术比较结果的法律和道德考虑因素。
