The process of informed consent is an ethical and legal mandate. The medical informed consent doctrine enables adult patients to make their own treatment decisions based on adequate disclosure of information by the endoscopist. The physician must disclose to the patient the nature, benefits, risks, and alternatives of the procedure being performed. It is incumbent upon the endoscopist to know the standard of disclosure in his or her jurisdiction. The process of informed consent will strengthen the physician-patient relationship and can be used as a valuable risk management tool.
知情同意过程是一项伦理和法律要求。医学知情同意原则使成年患者能够在内镜医师充分披露信息的基础上做出自己的治疗决策。医师必须向患者披露所进行手术的性质、益处、风险和替代方案。内镜医师有责任了解其所在辖区的披露标准。知情同意过程将加强医患关系，并可作为一种有价值的风险管理工具。
