Require surgeons to explain all risks, including vascular injury, in gynae ops
Women are not being properly informed of serious risks in gynaecological surgery. “Bleeding” is used to cover rare but life-threatening injuries like vascular damage. Consent must be honest, clear and specific. This is a legal and ethical failure that must be addressed.
Women undergoing gynaecological surgery are not being told the full risks. Surgeons list vague terms like “bleeding,” but do not explain this could mean life-threatening vascular injury. Patients deserve clear, honest, specific information—especially for rare but serious complications. This is a legal and ethical failure.
