Description

Surgical ethics is the application of ethics to issues specific to surgery.

This volume provides a collection of clinical case studies representing a wide range of the ethical issues surgeons confront today.

It is an excellent text for teaching surgical ethics to surgical residents and medical students and a fascinating read for practicing surgeons.

It is intended to engage the reader into participating in evidence-based ethical conflicts.

The authors escort us through 71 brief, realistic, and ethically complex problems, offering a series of five possible resolutions to each and guiding us through the relative benefits and weaknesses of the options until a best ethical choice is defended.

The volume includes sections on Consent and Disclosure, Self-Regulation, Research and Innovation, Conflicts of Interest, Business Dealings, and End of Life Issues, each with a brief introduction by the authors.
